Care Frater,
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
I am taking it as a fact that Frater O.I.V.V.I.O. (Sir Stansfeld Jones [Charles Stansfeld Jones]) is the person predicated in Liber Legis I. 55.56. and similar passages. All the statements there made about his generation have come out exact by way of Liber 418 [The Vision and the Voice] and the IX° of O.T.O. I can't give details: it means almost a Book to explain. But I thought I would write this; in case of my death or incapacity he will automatically succeed me both in A∴A∴ and O.T.O. This letter is to be taken as evidence of my will: you should put it among the archives.
Love is the law, love under will.
Fraternally, In the Bonds of the Order
Baphomet X° O.T.O. I.I. et O.B.
