[Undated: circa late June 1917?]

 

 

My beloved Son,

 

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

 

I am to blame for not writing, but have not felt at all like it.

     

(Many happy returns of to-day, by the way!)

     

I have resigned in your favour, unofficially, to help Cowie [George MacNie Cowie] out. You write him and say you're [illegible] Master now, and to get on with Lodge work, damn his eyes! I made it unofficial so as to avoid all sorts of legal transfers; and if necessary, the incident need not count at all, if it appear advisable to ignore it.

     

I'm sorry if I've failed to answer questions; I've been too neuralgic to think at all, and I was expecting to see you. Really, little can be done unless we get together. Everything constructive looks so damned futile just now.

     

If I could get into a country cottage, it would all be different.

 

Love is the law, love under will.

 

Your father send Benedictions in the Highest,

 

Θ
