Very Illustrious and very dear brother,

 

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

 

We want to thank you very much for yours of July 16, enclosing draft for twenty pounds. We hope to have a printing press in working order here by this time next year, at the latest: but it is very difficult indeed to get anything whatever done these days. However, all publicity work must necessarily wait over until we have our own outfit. We suggest that your temple should arrange to send one of its members, yourself or anyone else that may seem good to you, to be our guest for a time. It would be very useful to you to have someone on hand who was familiar with the actual work first hand. The written word is in many respects defective; and what everyone most wants, especially in the beginning, is regular drill. Please convey Our paternal benedictions to all Men of Will.

 

Love is the law, love under will.

 

Yours, in the bonds of the Order,

 

[Elevenfold Cross] Baphomet O.T.O.

I.I. et O. B.
