Dear T,
Thanks so much for responding so quickly. Of course I would have liked more reassurance on the one thing, but it's the language I've come to expect from you, so it's OK. And I appreciate your acknowledging my delaying emailing you. Of course I'm sad that tomorrow will probably be the last in-person day for a while, but I completely understand. It really helped that you said you were discouraged about this as well. That I'm not alone in the disappointment.
Love,
LT
