Dear Slim:
Received your card from Calif. saying you were looking for your brother. I hope you found him well. Received a package of books June 1st and a new return address. I'm wondering why you moved. You seemed so happy with the other place. I don't know where 143 Armitage is. Thought the numbers started at 300.
How is the college doing? When your gone for a while I don't hear from you about the college. – Here there is no free open discussion anymore as far as I can find out. I wonder how much longer you will be able to have them without the police interfering. Isn't it wonderful to live in a free country. — I asked what freedom means and the only answer was we were free to choose any kind of work and move wherever we want to. That sounds like well brain-washed people. That is because all children are taught to obey authority and if their brain says something else then their brains are wrong. Soon they can't even zip up their pants without someone telling them how to do it.
My son and family visited me Sunday and were proud to tell me another baby is due in October. Brrrr and also Grrrrr. —I gave them some literature
