Studying/informal translation with a chronic illness

[Olga Meerson]

Dear Stephanie, dear Nola,
Please accept my admiration. One of my best former students, Olga Agafonova, has, I think, cerebral palsy (that is what it looks like). She is absolutely brilliant and very strong and beautiful. I have known wonderful colleagues with both MS and cerebral palsy. Plus, there are some diseases at home, not only mine. It takes a lot of spirit to overcome these things but the results are fascinating--such a testimony to Paul's words about the spirit being willing while the flesh is feeble! So much of Russian literature and culture is about that, to begin with. 
With admiration, very warmly,
Olga
