Your wire threw me into a blind rage against you, the evident cause of recent troubles—through your refusing to execute my will. There is a sort of boy-like abortion in you—neither O.P.V. [Norman Mudd] nor N. M. [Norman Mudd] but (probably) your evil persona—which plays these foul tricks on you—and on us! He needs (I think) to be brought right out by physical pain. I never saw so bad a case before, nor even one which suggested such treatment.

What you must do id to get here at once—leaving 3000 fr[anc]s in the bank to meet the Feb 1 cheque (With this I paid my old bills here, thus restoring full credit: there was a small balance for any current exis.) I think that, once you get here all will be easy. I present I am handicapped having to write everything with my own hand—being weak with constant diarrhoea from drinking Paris water—as I guess.

Now it is up to you to get here at once. I am [illegible] about copying MSS etc [illegible] at Cefalù. I have written urgently to Bayley [James Gilbert Bayley] and A.I. [Eddie Saayman] on your behalf—so far neither has acknowledged my wires and letters. Why, G.O.K! No more now: hope to see you within a week.
