Peter will have any interest in her this summer. Maybe too young for
him.

My dear Neill:
At a meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Wilhelm Reich
Foundation last night, I told them about the plan of your coming to the
U.S. Everyone was enthusiastic. We cannot of course discuss details now.
However, a few questions would have to be answered already within the
next few weeks.
In case you immigrate to the U.S., would it at all be possible for
you to get some money over from your buildings if you liquidate them,
and if so, how?
We plan to start building the children's home already this summer.
Would you leave the arrangement of the children's home to us, or would
you care to give us your ideas and sketches of how it should be arranged?
The school is planned as model and training school for the Orgonomic
Infant Research Center, for nursery and kindergarten teachers, etc.
The Infant Research Center is a part of the non-profit Wilhelm Reich
Foundation and the school could, therefore, not run as a private enter
prise, to fulfill the requirements of tax exemption. But you would be, of
course, your own master in the school as far as the self-regulation and
administrative processes are concerned. I do not think that we disagree
basically on these issues.
I would appreciate having your answer to these questions as soon as
possible, since we are going ahead with the plans. Otherwise, we would
have to wait with the building for next summer.
The Infant Research Center course turns out to be a very great
success. We are pulling all pertinent and hot questions unhesitatingly
into the open, grouped around two basic issues:
a) the natural laws of self-regulation in newborn babies before armor
ing sets in;
b) the hate of armored living beings against the natural-given living
principles in the baby.
All my best to all of you.
