In this letter to Ram Dass in the summer of 1968 my mother, Marge, shares with him some of what her spiritual journey has been since they last communicated. It is interesting that she addresses him as both Richard and as Ram Dass. She goes on to detail her efforts to book a venue for him to give his first lecture in southern California as Ram Dass. She suggests one used by Alan Watts. This is the carbon copy she saved in her file, but she did sign it with her signature initial, for Marge King.
This letter to ‘Mary’ King from an assistant to ‘Dr. Alpert’ in March 1968 is included on this page with the letter Marge sent to Ram Dass just for historical reference. I do not have any additional information about why ‘Dr. Alpert’ was looking for a particular photographer when he was in India for the first time.
