Felix but I wonder if we are not after
all still boys under the skin I'm

well I know that I cannot blot out the
past and the heritage it has left for me
without jeopardizing all that I hold
most dear in my present knowing all this
I feel I feel that I am must say to you
that I have been profoundly shocked I'm
returning to the country of my birth to
find that that an inhuman censorship.
Bureau exists

back from the efforts the constructive
efforts of sensuous and inflated racial
hatred talk about religious intolerance
