Dear Both,
Labour Day
I am still homesick for Orgonon. The drive was tiresome but
I am refreshed now. The gang hasn't arrived yet, and Ranger says they
have paid for a whole week and will be concerned if I leave before
next Tuesday, lecture day. Going to be a 2-hour session mornings and
one evenings, and Ranger wants me to have a special hour for in
dividuals who want to speak to me, so it looks as if by the end of the
week I'll have $600 plus a ruined constitution. However, I'll survive it.
Nice place this, warm, sunny, but the scythe is rotten, blunt, set at
wrong angle and there is no whetting stone. H. has lent me this nice
typewriter and I'll go on with my book afternoons. A ber, Kinder [But,
children], I wish I were back with your typewriter.
I'll have only one day to shop in N.Y., but Ranger says I may get
the clothes for Zoe here nearby in Barrington. Now I just long to get
home; my vacation ended when they drove me away from Orgonon.
I miss the voices of Isabel * and Peter in the early morning, but the
H. 's two young dogs started to bark at my door at 6 a.m. and at 7 the
heavy footsteps above awoke me again. Good training for returning to
Zoe. Nothing more to report so far. How in hell I can have things to say
in six days 4 hours a day, God knows. I'll encourage them to talk about
their own jobs but not about their own selves. Love to the three of you,
bless you.
P.S. Say goodbye to Tomt for me. I like him.
