93.

 

Yours of 5th.

     

1. No. Thelema-Verlag. The firm is really in my own control: it was founded only to do my books.

     

2. Can't understand why my American agents do nothing. But they don't. So you're free.

     

3. I think 500 of both Part I and II [of Book 4] at first. Then 1500 or 2000 more of Pt. I. Not sure if Pt 2 was reprinted. Fancy war stopped it—Not sure.

     

4. I thought of a totally new title e.g. "Theory and Practice of Magick."

     

5. Name "The Master Therion" Fra[ter] P[erdurabo] didn't know all that's in Pt 3 [Magick in Theory and Practice].

     

6. The crook who bought the Chiswick Press might have answer to this in their old records.

     

I quite approve your alternative scheme.

     

But if you really know 50 people it would be better to get them to form a company as in Germany.

     

There is a big demand, once things could be brought back to normal.

 

93     93/93.

 

Fraternally,

 

666.
