shall be back in New York by the end of September. A breast operation
always means cancer, and since the removal of a breast does not touch
the rotting process in tissues and blood, the use of the accumulator is
indispensable to prevent reoccurrence if possible.
I would like to hear more about your vegeto-therapy experiences.
My baby is doing very well. My voice is going high only if I meet
stupid emotional-pest reactions and when I feel helpless to cope with

people to understand the most simple thing in the world which I am

what is behind it. Of course a few Freudians dismiss you as meschugge
[crazy] but that sort of thing is a compliment from them.
I am veg-therring 4 girls and 4 boys, adolescent. Often I wish I could
run to ask your advice, but feel it is better that I can't. With a girl of 17
it goes easily and quickly, but with the others I am in the middle of
strong resistance, which brings in a difficulty. I am analyst AND head
master. In spite of the fact that I am not a feared headmaster, I can see
the old difficulty arising. Suppose a boy has been stealing from me, or
ruining a workshop tool of mine. His resistance to my knowing it goes
over to everything. One boy of 14 sent to me two years ago as a bad
