I mention this pornography because you will have heard of it in
your Stunden [treatment hours] probably.
I use the Box daily and read your books in it. Since I met you again
the books are very clear to me. You have no idea how much meeting
you again meant to me. You are a better tonic than your whiskey-how
I long for a glass again, but it can't be got; most of it is exported. I see
it in London shops at £10 a bottle (40 dollars). But urn Gottes Willen
[for God's sake] don't try to send me any or any cigarettes; the duty

Your wool coat you gave me is a great boon now that winter winds
blow. And Ena is delighted with her green leather coat.
I lecture to the Sex Society (President Norman Haire) in February
on "Sex and the Adolescent," in London.

games with her. She has a tremendous will, but is 95 % quiet and happy.
No signs of her wanting to play with faeces and urine.

My dear Neill:
I have your letter of October 27th. The fire did not affect
Orgonon, it was about 100 miles away, but it could have happened.
Your idea to come over to get some money and to rest is an excellent
one. You did not tell me whether you would accept my offer to live in
the cabin on the big lake, where you would have all the comfort you
