We used the small Akku on a girl of 15 with a boil on her leg. It
cleared up in 3 days, and we are to have her in the big box next term too.
Congratulations on your English in this your first book published in
English. It flows freely and no one would ever guess it wasn't your
native language.
We are concerned about Zoe getting fears and complexes from badly
reared kids in the Cottage which houses the smallest children. A trying
problem to you and us and all the other believers. It makes me furious
to hear a kid say to Zoe: "Let's shit here but don't tell your Mummy."
No official report from the Educn. Dept. yet. I am not safe yet. One
inspector was worried about the opportunities for sex life here, in view
of my published views on child sex, also about the absence of religious
instruction. In the report (I saw a rough copy before they sent it to
headquarters ... very decent of them to show it to me privately) I saw a
sentence about sex opportunity and then this: "The headmaster however
says that in 28 years no girl pupil has been pregnant." When he asked
in conversation I added to that statement: "I'm not proud of the fact,"
and they both smiled. I can see they are trying to be fair to me, and I
don't fear being closed: No, but I do fear interference-more W.C.'s,
more baths, too many in one room etc.
Nay, Reich, liberty is fast disappearing from Britain, and to anticipate
your answering: "Socialism, Neill," I hasten to say that the Educn. Bill
inspecting private schools was made by the Tories and handed on to
the Labour Govt.
We are both sad at not coming over this year. It seems so long to
wait till next summer.
Our love to you all. Send me a picture of the completed Observatory
with, I take it, Collins hanging from the top balcony. We all must have
some outlet for our murderous wishes.

September 9, 1949It's a very long time since I have written. The summer was a
very hectic one. There were many physicians in two cancer courses. A
lot of visitors, nuisance and good ones.
