San Francisco, Cal.,

June 4th 1913.

Mrs. Mabel Dodge,
23 Fifth Avenue,
New York City.

My Dear Mabel Dodge:

The enclosed letter was forwarded to me from our office, and was received too late for my reply to reach the lady who signed it (and whose name, by the way I cannot make out) in time for the date she wanted people to write. However, you may tell her for me that I would be very glad if such a proposition as outlined in her letter could be carried out in our City, especially if it will adhere to the formula of no distinction between class or people. That is one of the drawbacks in most civic centers and clubs. Also, I should be opposed to any kind of a moral censor that might spring up in a place like that, for I do not think it can be successful unless it is really a freeplace for men and women to meet and discuss the pressing questions of our day. At any rate, I shall be very glad to assist in whatever way I can, provided, as I have said, the Puritanical whip is put away once for all.

M.D. 2

I shall not be back in New York before the latter part of August, as I am having very successful meetings in California, and intend to remain here as long as I am wanted.

When I last saw you I understood you to say that you intended to return to Italy in April. It is evident that you have given up that plan. Do you intend to remain permanently with us, or how long? I hope you will be in New York when I go back there, as I want to know you more. I think I shall have more opportunity to meet people when I go back there than I did last winter.

Write me a long letter and tell me about our friends in New York and what you have been doing with yourself, in fact, everything about which you care to write. Mail will reach me for the next three weeks at Mammoth Hall, 517 South Broadway, Los Angeles, California.

If you see Hapgood give him my love and tell him he is a bum friend. He has not written me a single line all these months, although he knew I was having a very hard time, laboring under all sorts of difficulties, not the least of them poor health.

With all good wishes,

ANARCHISM

The philosophy of a
new social order based
on liberty unrestricted
by man-made law; the
theory that all forms
of government rest
on violence, and are
therefore wrong and
harmful, as well as
unnecessary.

My dear Mrs. Dodge. Thank you so much for your kind note. I had
been waiting to see if I could ask you to call again as we did not
get the chance to know each other a little. I fear however I need
wait no longer, I am so dreadfully rushed I can not find the time to
see you.

But there is a chance, if you care to avail yourself of it,
we will not be alone, still we will be able to come closer than we &
the other day. By the inclosed you see that we are to have a sort of

Fare- Ye-Well. After the Concert a few friends including Mrs and Mr.
Hargood will come with me on a little 'Spree" I should be so glad if
you will join us. I am inclosing ticketd for the Concert, perhaps
you can induce some of your ffriends to attend, but we dont want them
for our other affair. If you can not dispose of the tickets, please
return them, but do come yourself.

Very Sincerely

Now to another matter. I am sending under separate cover a package of cards announcing my Sunday lectures, will you call on me for special attention of your friends on Thursday to the lecture of Sunday Dec 14th, on "The Intellectual Proletarians," as it deals largely with the people who go to such affairs as your and others and are making a desperate struggle to exist. I hope you can come to
