Record of a Friendship

1 agree with you fully that it is not possible to take responsibility for

adolescents' love life unless these adolescents grew up our way.

Your catarrh will only yield if you use the accumulator regularly and

1 received the English publication of my Character Analysis which

looks very good and 1 hear it is selling very well.

munist sympathisers, e.g. Haire who is attacked by all the reds in
London as a reactionary.
What troubles me more than fascism of any colour is the fact that
some big curtain has fallen between you and me, a curtain that only
long talks could raise, and these are not even on the horizon (for my
ban will be permanent 1 fear), 1 look on the future relations with
anxiety. Not the personal ones but the ones connected with our ideas
and priorities and above all, work.
