Roosevelt writes a letter to O'Brien and encloses a copy of her favorite prayer. The prayer implores God to place a restlessness in our hearts that will cause us to strive for "far-off goals," engage in tasks so difficult that they require Divine power, and to see the "hidden good in the world." It also asks for peace, enlightenment and deliverance from "fretfulness and self-pity."
