about teaching methods ... God, teachers are a lost tribe. I flee from
them when I can.

July 17, 1946We are making inquiries about how to get an accumulator,
built here, over to you right away. You must have it. It will release much
of troubles. Barakan is in charge of settling this.
I am all for your coming over next month if possible. I can assure
you, having been a father of three newborn babies, that a father is
nothing more than a nuisance around a nursing mother, if the mother
is well and has some help. Please make up your mind quickly like the
young man you really are and jump over this ocean by plane. August
would be good for you to see Orgonon, the Lab., the working unit, the
Kindergarten a few miles away, the marvellous country, and-last not
least-to REST a bit, far away from your routine Summerhill. Well,
how about it?
It would be grand to have some real talks as in old times.

July 23, 1946I'd love to see you all, but not now. The baby is due in mid
October and I won't leave Ena in her present state. The money question
also complicates matters, for the school is paying so badly that we are
having to take paying guests all August, and I can't leave her to face
the worry and work alone. No, Reich, it isn't yet time to come. I want
to bring her and the child when I come.
Leunbach's wife, Buddha, here for three weeks. With a Swedish
woman also a patient of Philipson. He seems to be an autocrat with
patients and I can see that both women are afraid of him. Buddha is
having sex talks with our girls, but I am sticking to my point that I must
have their mothers' consent before I have them fitted with cervical caps.
