Dear G[ardner],

 

The Committee to investigate the G.D. [Golden Dawn] which contains Yeats [W.B. Yeats], [Percy] Bullock and I suppose [William] Ayton, have wanted to borrow the Cypher MSS. to look at. I make no objection, but I ask for protection and I think the Committee should give indemnify [to] me, if I lend at their request, without prejudice.

     

The Comm[itteeJ asked me not to tell anyone; but if they split, one can't tell what may happen . Send me any news at Cor[oner's] office, Calvert Avenue E.

 

Best Wishes,

 

Yours sincerely,

 

     

S.A.
