lately, and we have learned how little we know about children, espe
cially their genitality. The depths and scope of this realm are endless
and I look forward to the day when the educators of the world will
start digging up these sources of living life, as they are only burying them
in a lot of verbiage today. I am just about finishing my book on the
murder of Christ after about twelve years preparation and two months
emotional agony just before I began to write it.
The Foundation has just sent over $500 for Korean children's relief
and is going to send more. The trend in the Foundation is to become a
grant-giving Foundation with the center of attention on the misery of
infants and adolescents.
Write soon again and amply so. All my best to all of you.

My dear Reich,

July 30, 195 II don't know if my visa letter reached the U.S.A. press. The
press here took it up and gave it a lot of publicity.
We are off in a few days to Norway. Elsa Backer has invited us to

13Y2 missed her periods. Nice kid, clever, charming but she will go to bed
with anyone. I can cope with a genuine love affair but with promiscuity
I am lost. The parents know all about it and are pro-sex. It isn't any
joke having the responsibility of other people's kids. A boy of 7 fell
from a high tree recently and fractured his skull. Luckily he has just
come out of hospital. All such worries pile up, and we sure need a break
in peace.
I am longing to read your Christ book.
Is there anything in Orgone study to destroy a guy's sense of humour?
Paul Ritter wrote saying his wife was to have another baby, and I wrote
saying that it was all very well, but a pity that the man didn't have more
to do with birth. He replied as if scandalised at any suggestion of levity
