他所获得的种种荣誉反映出他所受到的严峻考验及勇气：多个紫心勋章，带有象征英勇V字母的青铜星章，银星勋章以及法国政府所颁发的一项享有极高荣誉的战争十字勋章。战争结束后，他仍在陆军预备役任职，获得了上校军衔，同时，他在纽约继续从医。他儿子说，“他是一名非常敬业的内科医生，很多患者慕名向他求医。” 莱昂纳多·杰内森的儿子不记得那套狄更斯的书籍，但是他告诉我当时他们家一直有很多小说。他的妈妈在1977年他父亲去世后“清理过房间”，而恰在那一年，我丈夫在一家二手书店买了那套书。
I found this letter very moving, with its brief portrait of an intelligent, brave man and his life of service. At the same time, it made me question my presumption that somehow L.R. Generson and I were connected because we’d owned the same set of books. The letter both told me a little about him, and told me that I would never really know anything about him - and why should I? His son must have been startled to hear from a stranger on such a fragile pretext. What had I been thinking?
尽管这封信只简单描述了一个智慧、勇敢的人以及他的军旅生活，但我觉得这封信很感人。同时，我不禁产生一个疑问，由于我和L. R. 杰内森曾共同拥有一套书，我们之间是否有某种缘分。那封信也告诉我了一些他的情况，而且信中还说我不会真正地了解他。为什么我要了解他呢？当他的儿子收到一个陌生人以如此勉强的一个借口给他写来的信时一定会很惊讶。我当时是怎么想的？
One possible, and only somewhat facetious, answer is that I’ve read too much Dickens. In the world of a Dickens novel, everything is connected to everything else. Orphans find families. Lovers are joined. Ancient mysteries are solved and old scores are settled. Questions are answered. Stories end.
一种可能的而且是唯一听起来比较可笑的回答就是我读了太多狄更斯的小说。在他的小说里，任何事物都和其他的事物相关联。他的小说故事结束时，孤儿最终找到了亲人，有情人终成眷属，古老的秘密终被解开，昔日的宿怨最终化解，疑问终被解答。
Leonard Generson’s life touched mine only lightly, through the coincidence of a set of books. But there are other lives he touched more deeply. The next time I read a Dickens novel, I will think of him and his military service and his 10 languages. And I will think of the hundreds of babies he must have delivered, who are now in the middle of their own lives and their own stories.
在一套书的机缘巧合下，莱昂纳多·杰内森的人生对我的生活产生了些许的影响。但他深深地影响了其他人的生活。下次我再阅读狄更斯的小说时，我会想到他，想到他的军旅生涯，和他所讲的10种语言。我也会想到他所接生的数百名婴儿---他们现在正行走在自己的人生道路上，并且书写着自己的故事。
