of your physicist is deeply irrational and identical with the irrationalism
in all mechanistic and metaphysical science.
Why do you try so hard to convince the Rickmans? They are quite
unimportant and I don't believe that it is useful even to try. Other
younger, more daring and better thinking people in the coming gener
ations will come and take up our matter and carry it to social conse
quences. I am not worried about that.
I am very glad and thankful for what you are doing to spread knowl
edge about my work. Good things do penetrate, but only slowly. I don't
want you to get disappointed.
I would not object to a magazine popularizing our knowledge if it
were to be done well.
I am cross at you that you don't follow my advice to have an Orgone
Accumulator built immediately and use it. There is some kind of
resistance in you against it if you permit me to be quite frank. I assure
you that it would do you much good.
I wish all of you there a pleasant New Year and much success in it.
My wife is jo ining me in these wishes. We have sent you a small package
with some, not much, useful things in it.

December 29, 1942Many thanks for your Xmas gift. The coffee is wunderbar
[wonderful] and the chocolate better than our own here. It was kind
of you to think of it. I am just off to Scotland to lecture and if possible
play some golf if it doesn't snow. I have tried to think out how I can
build an Accumulator, but in war time you have no idea how difficult
things are. Even things like nails and screws are impossible to get in
some places, and sheet metal can't be bought. Then there is the question
of heating. This year I have no central heating-to save fuel; but if I
could make one, I could at least use it in summer. Is it possible to make
a bed enclosed in one? That would solve the question of heat and also
the question of time. But if a whole night of Orgones would be good
for health I don't know. I haven't heard recently from Constance as to
how the Library is going. I find it uphill work trying to interest people,
