Notes and topics

"Sunday aftn." "Thank you for the advice about the cocoa. But Wittgenstein is very obstinate, and won't do anything sensible unless it is no trouble at all. Just now he is better, so I suppose he will be utterly careless. Really it is not so much a matter of health—he strains his mind to the utmost constantly, at things which are discouraging in their difficulty, and nervous fatigue tells on him sooner or later. I think physical remedies can mitigate his bad times, but he will always have them as long as he goes on thinking I expect."
