My dear Mr. Doughty,

 

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

 

Thanks for your letter. It is not at all disappointing though I am sorry to hear that you are not in the millionaire class, and still more that you are not likely to visit us in the near future. (I should not have troubled you by writing if I had known at that time exactly how things stood. My chief object was, in fact, to ascertain the psychology and I am completely satisfied by what you say.) I will not bother you with any further remarks about the nature of the Work, but in due course you will here more about it, and I think you will find yourself entirely sympathetic and likely to be useful. Of course we have rather a large and important programme but we are well on the way to success, and I can say for myself it is so well worthwhile that for myself nothing else in life appears of the slightest importance. No doubt Norman [Norman Mudd] will pay you a visit very shortly. He will be able to explain much better than I can, especially as he will be able to use the conventional language of mathematics.

 

Love is the law, love under will,
