Yours of 26th.

     

Will see Amexco here: it will be useless to write. E.g. I don't know who to go to for certificate.

     

Some of the essays in Batch 2 of the documents are of very great importance. Unfortunately, all are not properly finished. That is through being thrown about and parted constantly from my MSS.

     

Now we have a G.H.Q. [Grand Headquarters] once more, we must fix up all the loose ends. I shall have to have a secretary and an editor. The latter because my own mind is so broken up over the wreck of the work that it won't face the job of reorganization. Unless I had a real long rest free from worry.

     

If only I could put everything in my wife's name—but as that name is Sophia, who has no ètat civil!

     

I shall be glad to hear any remarks of yours on B[oo]k 4 P[ar]t III [Magick in Theory and Practice] and generally your impressions from week to week of what you read.

     

I've been feeling rotten—got a bad chill driving around in Amilcar and wandering in the slums in the rain.

     

I need a month's rest badly.

 

93     93/93.

 

Yours in haste,

 

Fraternally,

 

666.
