This matter will be settled by the end of May. I advise against lecturing
by you, first because of the great heat in the U.S. during the summer
months, and, second, because you should not bother about it.Summerhill School

My dear Reich,

May 16 , 19 50Thanks for your most generous offer to see that our fares are
paid. As they come to £ 300 for sea fares alone, I refuse to allow you
to payout anything, knowing well the struggle you have to get the
money you need for your own work. Also, Reich, forgetting for the
moment our warm friendship, I want to feel independent, and that is
why a letter last week saying no lecture agent was interested, made me
pessimistic and feel unwanted. However, today a letter comes from Liz
Badgeley, * cheerfully saying that she thinks a seminar can be arranged
in New York when I arrive, one that will bring in at least 400 dollars,
and is sure she can get lectures in N.Y. State for me. I don't want to
encroach in any way on Orgone Institute funds. And of course I want
to preach to as many students and teachers as I can, want to feel I am
doing something, working not just holidaying all the time. Anyway the
three of us are coming, and we are delighted at the prospect. We have
so much to discuss with you.
