Correspondence from Karl Germer to Montgomery Evans
136 Liberty St. New York
September 14, 1926.
Dear Mr. Evans,
93,
I thank you for your letter and wish to reply and deal with it at once. As I have very little time please excuse me for doing this briefly.
I am sending your letter to Mr. Max R. Schneider, the man in Chicago so that he gets the direct impression and have him cooperate and get friends to enquire for A.C.'s books. If I should hear anything I shall let you know immediately.
Shipment of Books. I hope Mr. Schneider will see to this immediately. The books to be sent here, I shall have addressed to you. If you do not wish this, please let me know. In your letter you say you will be in New Haven etc. in a week or 10 days. Please remember that the books could not be there by then. My letter will reach Mr. Schneider on the 16th. If he sees to it at once he will not be able to get the books shipped before the 18th or 19th, and it takes about a week or 10 days from Chicago to the East. I shall therefore have the boxes addressed to the 2 bookshops direct. I hope they will pay the carriage as I doubt whether Mr. Sch. will be able to pay it in advance.
Samuel Bin Aiwaz [Samuel Aiwaz Jacobs]. I know the name and about his connection with A.C. I will call you up or get in touch with you one of these days and show you what MSS. I have with me. I wished I would get a reply from Miss [Myrtis] Morgan. (She has some M.S.S.).
Unpublished poems etc. I have Schneider send your letter in original to A.C. at once. He is in the Pyrenees where he has a secretary and will be able to get things ready for print in no time if we indicate what is desired.
I am sending a copy of your letter to A.C. to-day so that he can see to the various things.
Prices. I have no information to show that the London stock is in any way competing against Chicago. I have written to A.C. long ago to put the whole of the London stock formally at my disposal: however, no reply as yet. Please reduce the prices according to your suggestions. I ask Sch. to do the same. The only exception is Konx Om Pax. The book is too valuable in every respect. I will ask Mr. Schneider's opinion, and let you know. Raffalovitch [George Raffalovich] was a contributor to the Equinox and at one time a disciple, I think of C[rowley]. Later he withdrew. You will find a publication to this effect in the peculiarly sarcastic Crowley style in one of the editorials of the Equinox.
Equ[inox] No. III. This point is important. As soon as I see you I will tell you all I know about it.
Love is the law, love under will.
Yours fraternally
Karl Germer
