My Beloved son,

 

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

 

Yours of October 12th to hand. I will let you know further about Bates in a few days. I should have seen him this week, but have been getting into winter quarters and this has messed everything up. I will send you Liber [illegible] by an early mail. I have not got a Collegii Sancti, you must get that from Cowie [George MacNie Cowie]. I have not heard from Cowie, as much as usual. He has been under a very great strain, but I got a letter from him yesterday dated September 27th. He seems fairly cheerful.

     

I have no illegitimate babies in the office at the present moment, but if any should arrive, I will advise you in due course, and dispatch. Our terms are cash with orders. Speaking seriously, I think it is rather crazy to increase responsibilities at a time like the present. I cannot see my way to any sort of permanent arrangements in regard to anything until I see more clearly what is going to happen.

     

I wish I could have a week with you. We could clear up a great deal.

 

Love is the law, love under will.

 

Thy Sire,
