Record of a Friendship

(Ben Green) #1
Oranur elicited it to the surface and ... what? I don't know, maybe
cured in advance. This is my hope.
It is hard to imagine how I could ever do my job at a reduced rate
of effort. Only very few know how much effort went into this discovery
of the life energy. I came to think in all earnest that almost all heart
diseases are originally heart break diseases.

Good to hear you are now up and about. I hope your guess is
right, that Oranur made the heart do its worst and fail to kill you. But
do take care of yourself from now on. Make the other guys do the heavy
work and walk round with your hands in your pockets and see they
are doing the job ... but I can't ever see you standing aside patiently
watching another man make a mess of things.
I feel sure now, and have gradually reconciled myself to the fact,
that I won't ever see U.S.A. again, and apart from losing touch with
the Reich family and a few others, I don't care now. Also I fear that
world affairs will settle the matter for me, for I can't see any hope in the
clash of ideologies. When I read that N.Y. had a practice air-raid warn­
ing, I felt that there is little hope of peace now. Here if one talks of
peace one is branded as a supporter of Stalin... "playing Russia's
Game."
We are both feeling fit. We stick to our Box daily. I feel fine, full of
energy, but so far my ear, nose, throat catarrh has not been helped.
Have an idea that breathing is the best for it.
