can't even get enough wood for the school, and no brass nor iron at all.
Thank heaven our food is good. My own theory is that rationing has
improved health, for so many can't now eat too much.
Well, Reich, all the best, and let me hear from you soon. The last
journal I had was the Work Democracy one. I have sent it on to Herbert

it from my bookcase. Quite a few people in England now know of
Reich, and some are sending direct for the journal.
I'll be interested in that kid of yours. I still have a little fear that the
raised voice of the father when he gets angry will be dangerous to it.
That man Reich may be a genius but he ain't got too much patience!

are still around, or whether they have died out. The other day I had
a letter from a co-worker in Palestine, to the effect that he had clamped
