Care Frater,

 

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

 

I cannot understand why we do not hear from you. Twenty-five copies of Equinox Vol. 3, No. 1, were sent you and it is quite incomprehensible that no acknowledgement should have been made of the receipt thereof. A little over a year ago, I found that I had been robbed of practically every available penny, by the people I most trusted, and not only of money but of the very great bulk of my property stored in London, even to my personal library and wardrobe. I am only just recovering from this amusing episode. It's immediate result was to hold up the publication of Equinox Vol. 3, No. 2, which had been actually printed off but was only partly paid for, when the blow fell. The sum of $1,500 is required to release the 1,000 copies of the edition plus the cost of binding, which can be paid in installments. The cost of each copy to the public is to be $8.00 and we are waiting to ask you if you could take a number of copies off our hands at this price, or in any other way contribute to the issue of this important volume.

     

I have now in preparation.

 

Love is the law, love under will.
