other organisms, if they can make cancer or destroy it, also the mice
Geschichte [business], what happens when mice are geimp/t [inocu
lated], what they die of when they do die after inoculation, etc. I want
enough to interest a man like Wells. I tried to interest Prof. Haldane of
London University Biometry Dept. "Too unorthodox," he said. I never
knew before how little these great scientists are.
Now do send me the short history of the Bione. I could do it in two
pages if I knew the facts. German will do.

My dear Neill,
I had never expected a better and nicer compliment than this
Haire gave me. I only hope that he is right in saying that I destroyed
the Sex Reform. Just that was the purpose when I started to fight against
it 10 years ago. And what Stekel said are very old Kamel/en [tales]
as we Germans used to say. I am glad that people came to you and
confirmed the conviction that there are other reasonable people in the
world. We are flowing in a stream, which took hold of the whole social
process since Hitler came to victory. We have to carry on.
About the Bione: I shall send you a copy of the communication
which I sent to the French Academy. (They won't publish it but will
deposit it in the archive.) In it you will find the latest general results
summed up. You can give him [Wells] a copy of the Bionbook too. And
a general review of the Bion field is to be found in the pamphlet Der
dialektische Materialismus in der Lebens/orschung [Dialectical Material
ism in Biological Research], which was printed in the same issue as the
Orgasm Reflex. You have got it. I have had a few copies of books sent
to you.
It's fine that you feel good. I am glad about it.
Write again please. Also about Wells. Very soon you'll get the
English translation of the new pamphlet about die naturliche Organisa
tion der Arbeit. *
