Record of a Friendship

(Ben Green) #1
I hope very much to hear from you soon again and to see you at
Orgonon in about 2 months.

My dear Reich,

Ilse left this morning. We hated her going, for we all liked
her very much. She will tell you all about S'hill when she returns to you.
Your last letter sounded most depressed. Pity you hadn't given your­
self a break and come over too. lise has laughed a lot here, and I guess
you would have laughed too.
I haven't much to write this time. We have been going to bed too late,
and missing our A bend Sitzung [evening session] in the Accu. From now
until end of July my life will be one long miserable interviewing of
visitors, most of them dull teachers and problem parents. And they all
ask the same damn-fool questions.
I am glad you at last threw overboard the word analysis. But we'll
talk about it soon I hope.

I sail on the Queen Elizabeth 9th August, and return on Queen
Mary 11th Sept. Sad that I have to come alone, but neither of us
would have Zoe vaccinated.
It will be a great joy to meet you again, Reich.
