Record of a Friendship

As a body, the C.P. is totally ignorant of psychology, and worse still,

considers it a bastard science.

I have finished my book * and it is in the press. I shall send on a

proof for Wolfe to see if he can fit it into the journal. You ask if I can

send copies of your book and journals to Sweden. I can't. I enquired

and only letters and postcards are allowed by air mail-the ,only mail

to Sweden.

The structure of the Orgone Institute seems o.k. to me. It looks fool­

proof and proof against exploitation. I don't yet know how I can stand

financially to it, for at the m<?ment my income is less than my expendi­

ture. The dollars I lent you in peace days I do not want repaid; they are

my small contribution to the good work.

School goes well. 150 waiting to get in if I had room. No solu�ion to

the sex question. Most parents want the status quo. My. article will show

how little advance I have made.

Just off to Scotland for a few wee�. Have let myself get run down.

I wish I had an Accumulator.

We don't understand your keeping silent for so long. K'eeping

contact now seems to me of the utmost importapce, since in a few

months or a year or so' we may face very huge and responsible tasks.

We can operate only very badly if �o contact is kept. It is personally

unpleasant as well as .fa"c.t'ually. I hope you don't mind my frankness,

, but I am not only speaking for myself, but also for some teacl1ers who
are eager to learn more from you and even to try to get you over here
for lectures, or, maybe, for good.
