pencilled note in right margin: Cut 3 on a Gides 1929
into an other life - The last was such a dam failure with its harvest of reactions and terror. I dont know whether I told you how I figured out the human race & the idea of progress. I never say any thing to any one nowadays that I dont ? it Did I tell you this before - You see I am in my dotage - still. Well - the reptile grows out of the fish - but the fish stayed a fish - the mammals grew from the reptiles but the snake kept on wiggling - out of the mammals came the monkey but the mammals stopped they no longer climb - man came from the monkeys but the monkey keeps monkeying. There might possibly come a Super man - from man - but man will be man - and the super man will eat us cut our throats with big knives & steam us & boil us Man is as much fixed as the bees & the ants. trying to change them is trash. they are done - Go to the Ape thou fool. harangue them & teach them Socialism -
I have a proposition - It will take you a week to read this letter. if you will then write me one I will reply within an other week
Ever with love Clarence
