Perhaps I do not see my own work clearly
I was rather worried that you might think I had begun to slacken because you had seen so little of my work recently.
On the contrary, I have been working very hard lately, and am still absorbed in all kinds of things in which I am beginning to see a light, but which I do not quite have within my grasp yet. . . .
. . . Perhaps I do not see my own work clearly. Perhaps it is a step forward, perhaps not - will you tell me your opinion of it in reference to the two studies I sent you, which I did recently along with a few others?
