My beloved son,

 

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

 

Thanks for your wire. The cheque arrived this morning, and I enclose herewith your fifty. Please find out cautiously if it is possible to discount the notes in Detroit; I want to get busy with [Equinox Vol. 3] No. 2 at once, and cash may be needed. I hope Ouija goes through; I need something that is not mere capital. There's a loss on Eq[uino]x [Vol. 3 No. 1], as it is.

     

Stamps will be sent you in about ten days. I can only find one of your negatives; will ask Camp again.

     

I am feeling rotten; I've been fasting, and last night Chanler [Bob Chanler] tried to prove to me that it is impossible to drink too much 1826 Brandy. He succeeded. First time in my life I ever got drunk. Now I know what it's like, and—never again!

 

Love is the law, love under will.

 

Your repentant sire,

 

666.

 

P.S. Most important to settle policy, if not business, re [Equinox Vol. 3] No. 2.

     

And Book 4 is of the first weight upon thy soul.

     

The Soulless Soul [Leah Hirsig] sends love. 666.
