Dear Sid,
Thank you for your comments on Robert Miller’s Stirner lecture. It provoked me into getting my act together and producing the article as a Pessimist magazine. I’ve enclosed the title sheet and Robert’s biographical note on Stirner (which I made the 2nd page), as well as your comments, which I added as the last two pages. I hope that I translated your handwriting correctly.
[Handwritten] If you wish to correct, change or add to it, please let me know. [End Handwritten]
You certainly deserve a rest after a 30 year stint editing and publishing your magazine. Yes, I certainly would like to be one of those receiving your occasional ‘viewsletters’. I would also like to receive Svien Olav Nyberg’s ‘Non-Serviam’, but I couldn’t find a contact address for it. I enjoyed his piece on ‘The Ego and Its Own – The Choice of a New Generation’.
I’ve also enclosed a response to Rollin’s ‘Myth of Natural Rights’, out of a letter to me from Keith Rex, who is (or was) associated with the NSW Rationalists Association. What possessed me to send him a copy, I do not know.
The cutting from Frontline, a left-wing journal, includes a derisive comment on Paddy McGuinness. Did I tell you that I attended the Sydney book launch, at the NSW Rationalist Association’s bookshop, of Stephen Maxwell’s booklet on Soapbox Oratory? Jim Baker, who publishes Heraclitus, was at the launch. It was the first time that I had met him. I asked him about Paddy’s piece of fiction which had appeared in Heraclitus some time ago. He told me that Paddy was not on their mailing list; the item had been sent from France, so they published it.
Yours,
(Signature)
P.S. Best to keep on using my PO Box number as I am moving house again shortly.
