TO MARY WILLIS SHELBURNE: On the need to take care of oneself and not of things. 8 January 1963 I don't mind betting that the things which 'had to be done' in your room didn't really have to be done at all. Very few things really do. After one bad night with my heart—not so bad as yours, for it was only suffocation, not pain—my doctor strictly rationed me on stairs, and I have obeyed him. Of course it is hideously inconvenient: but that can be put up with and must. What worse than inconvenience would have resulted if you had left those 'things' undone? Do take more care of yourself and less of 'things'! Still snow-bound. From The Collected Letters of C.S. Lewis, Volume III Compiled in Yours, Jack The Collected Letters of C. S.
