User-Contributed Transcription [typed] We pay any price for war, but we expect peace to come down like a dove / and land on our shoulder for nothing. Is it worth so little to us? Jan 13, 1952 May, my dear You came very close to the date, I keep it to myself because I'm agin all such conventions - in fact nearly all conventions and especially formalities such as Xmas, birthdays, bread and butter letters, hats (male), pajamas (or nightshirts) etc, anyhow it's friendly of you to remember OMB (Old Man Blossom) but go and sin no more sister. "Skip all that," cried the Bellman in haste. "We're out for the Snark i.e. Capitalism and we've no time to waste "(How's your "Alice"?) And it was good of you, too, to send me that article on the Klan. And the envelope prepared to save my time. [on left side] Don't put much stock in libraries. They thank you and put your gift in the trash basket. Most librarians are craven creatures "yellow as hell" I was 25 years a librarian. Garlits has twice sent oranges but they go fast as I share them w/ 10 or 12 active helpers. [on right side] Your half acre sounds inviting because of the choice company. [typed] This stationery may be purchased from World Events, 125 Fifth St., N.E., Washington 2, D.C.--75 sheets and 50 envelopes for $1.00. The proceeds will be used to further Scott Nearing's work for world peace.
