P.S. The journal gets better each time. I wish we could get it circulated
and appreciated over here. Tell me how America receives your work.t.tForest Hills, New York
April I, 1943
My dear Neill:
I am writing in a hurry and thus this letter will not be very
long. I received your February letter. I am so sorry that you have these
worries with your wife, but for the rest I feel that you are getting along
fine. We are waiting eagerly for your article for the 2nd issue of the
journal this year.
The orgone research is making slow but steady progress. Just two
months ago I succeeded in demonstrating the biological pulsation
function of the orgone in a purely physical manner; that means a
great deal.
I am glad that you like the journal. We hope to improve it still more.
Our work is accepted in the U.S. very nicely. First of all, there are
only very few pestilent reactions to it. Second, some journals have
reviewed our publications objectively and kindly. About 26 Orgone
accumulators are already distributed amongst students and lay people.
My publications are widely read at universities; some sociologists
especially are very much interested and I have received some rather
encouraging letters. I wait eagerly for the moment when we shall be
able to meet again either here or in Europe in order to organize the
international set-up. I mean organize in our way, the free way, and not
the bureaucratic way.
Your books are spreading slowly but surely among our students and
their friends. I already see you lecturing here sometime. A small
kindergarten group is slowly forming. I firmly believe that sex-economy
will mainly be in the hands of educators rather than physicians, and
rightly so.
My wife and I are working very hard to build up the Orgone Labora
tories in Maine. The Institute has acquired a farm of 160 acres,
beautifully ·situated. * I hope to concentrate all the research and teaching
- In Rangeley, Maine. Reich named this property "Orgonon."
