Dear Mr. Kurtz:

     Picked up a copy of your foresightful "Presidential Address in
Search of a President" at the Press Building yesterday.

     Personally, I'd have preferred the concept that "during these
experimental years each nation will be encouraged to seek defense
through reason rather than violence," to the words "No nation will
be expected to weaken its defense during these experimental years." 
But that's nit-picking.     

     In my opinion your Address in Search requires no editing
whatsoever.

     So now all we've got to do is find somebody who will deliver
it.

     Enclosing some material on freedom of belief and expression,
which might be of interest.

                         Your friend,

Dear Charles:

     Got your letter to Ellen.

     I don't immediately see the material improvement of your
latest proposal over your proposal which we have been trying to
promote through the petition for constitutional amendments.

     Haven't run out of patience.

     Please advise.

     Enclosing info about S.S. Harmony, which may bear on the fate
of the union.

                              Love,

Dear Guin:

     This is in response to your letter postmarked December 5th. 
No question about it. You are a better letter writer than I.

     Including some written matter to address some of your
questions about matters legal.

     Scott is busily building a better union.  He spends some of
his time watching Ollie's trial, and some of his time at the signs. 
He's also working with some other folks on Central America, and is
planning to go to Nevada in late March.

     Scott's tearing them up in Court.  Just won one without firing
a shot.

     Ellen is wonderful.

     Ellen and Song did produce what seened a  very creditable
publication.  Unfortunately, Song felt the need to meditate, and
had to leave town before publishing more than 100 copies. 
Fortunately a 100 copies are better than nothing.

     Fortunately Song has written to us and is doing well in
Pennsylvania.  He mentions plans to return to D.C., at some point
in the future. 
     Mary is working with the Rainbow Family to address new Forest
Service regulations  which threaten to do to the gathering what
"camping" has done to the Park.

     Philip just got back from Kentucky.  He has mentioned some
plan to resume feeding the masses.

     Acie doesn't get by that often lately.  He's got a new
apartment in Maryland and is working hard.     
     
     All in all things are good here.

     Allah wo Akbar, as the ayatollah would say.
