Gloucester, Mass. June 18, 1960 My dear John:

Gloucester, Mass. June 18, 1960 My dear John: I am working now and because of that have failed to make diary entries. So I am going to pour off steam and let you have it. I have, during the past weeks re-contacted old relatives and expect to meet others. This is in part for legal as well as social... Sign in to see full entry.

Charles Siegferth c/o Matz 40 Atlantic, Gloucester, Mass. June 8, 1960

Charles Siegferth c/o Matz 40 Atlantic, Gloucester, Mass. June 8, 1960 My dear Charlie: I have been considering writing you a letter and have decided to make this my diary report. I have not been making entries for some time. Most of my affairs will be of some interest to you and I am trusting you... Sign in to see full entry.

June 5, 1960 My dear Ruth:

June 5, 1960 My dear Ruth: This is largely a diary letter and is personal from this end. The second part is no doubt more spiritual. It is not a private letter and there are some items in it, or even all of it which can be shown to Norman McGhee Jr. in case he is available. Initiation, Pir-O-Murshid... Sign in to see full entry.

May 31, 1960 My dear Dorothy:

May 31, 1960 My dear Dorothy: I am just back from Gloucester and am in a sort of quandary, nothing bad, but much determinate. Visited Harvard and while I was there telephoned Adolph. To my surprise and delight he called on me the next day and took me to his home. It was one of those things—on the... Sign in to see full entry.

c/o E.W. Hathaway, 350 E. 76th St. New York 21, N.Y. My dear Gale: T

c/o E.W. Hathaway, 350 E. 76th St. New York 21, N.Y. My dear Gale: This is really my diary entry for May 7th and I am assuming you are now home. I guess when one becomes a wanderer one becomes a wandered. I received yesterday a very nice note from Swami Maharaj Ranganathananda who likes my poetry... Sign in to see full entry.

Washington April 27 My dear Murshida:

Washington April 27 My dear Murshida: Henceforth you may be hearing from me anywhere, any time or not at all. In the Cause of God one sets not his path and sets it, goes forth and does not go and serves in reverence, love and humility and sometimes also with a blare of trumpets. The ways of man are...

April 26, 1960

April 26, 1960 Dear Diary: I am sending copies of this to Florie Leonard in San Francisco, John Rockwell in San Rafael and “Bill” Hathaway in New York simultaneously. I realize—and I hope they do—that there is little time for separate letters. I always come to Washington with the assumption that the... Sign in to see full entry.

Columbus, Ohio April 16, 1960

Columbus, Ohio April 16, 1960 My dear Harry: I am very glad I have come this way. While I write now I shall have to go over my literature or information received, possibly offering you new information, possibly telling what you already know. It is always the “wrong” time to visit any place. The... Sign in to see full entry.

April 16, 1960 My dear Florie:

April 16, 1960 My dear Florie: The grapevine has preceded me to this place and I received a number of welcomes. The major ones came from men associated with the Plant Sciences, but some of the Muslims knew I was coming also. The latter live in quandaries. The Pakistanis want to be religious; the...

Columbus, Ohio April 13, 1960 My dear Harry:

Columbus, Ohio April 13, 1960 My dear Harry: I arrived here last night after 1½ days at the Agr. Exp. Station at Wooster and it proved more than profitable. I have a habit of putting my foot in my mouth—the right way, and don’t understand it. I don’t know if I wrote about the time I was standing in... Sign in to see full entry.
