My beloved son, in whom I am well pleased,

 

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.

 

Your lecture on II° is quite good: you have the spirit of it all, and the rest matters little.

     

I'm hoping to get your answer to my last, [illegible] mail. I expect to be here a month or more; so write direct. There's a plan to go to a desert island in mid-June for three months; but my plan is to be with you, one way or another. The more I think about it the more I see that it is the proper course. There's an infinite amount to communicate which a century of letters wouldn't fill.

     I sent Book 4 [Part I & Part II] to Cannaughton, and will write him a note to-day, telling him to hang on to you. I've no good news financially yet, but things may go better at any time. At least I've no immediate worry, and that's a considerable change. England seems all right: Lodge growing quite fast.

 

Love is the law, love under will.

 

Fraternally,

 

[eleven-fold cross] Baphomet XI° O.T.O.
