I began to have rheumatic pains in my arms and legs, I did not sleep for nights, got very thin, had injections of morphia, took thousands of medicines of all sorts, and remember none of them with gratitude except heroin, which was once prescribed me by Altschuller.... On Thursday I set off for foreign parts, very thin, with very lean skinny legs. We had a good and pleasant journey.
