Just a line to tell you how wonderfully the new Work is going. Kasimira [Kasimira Bass] is getting into her stride and things are beginning to happen accordingly. The trouble is that we have hardly any time for conversation or writing letters.
But from something that she has obtained it would seem that you may prove to be the one important man in putting the G[reat] W[ork] on a new firm basis. It may be through you—perhaps by way of Reynolds [Rosa Reynolds]—that AL III. 31 may come to pass. (There is another matter even more important which I cannot deal with now.) I would keep my eyes open if I were you. To be quite frank, I expected you to come right to the front long ago, and wondered why you didn't. Of course the Achad [Charles Stansfeld Jones] connection was very bad, at the end.
Everything here's moving ahead as it has not done for years, despite the immediate crimes. But Kasimira's coming had to lay everything in ruins, in order to 'rebuild it nearer to the heart's desire". Whatever comes of all this, I shall owe you an unthinkably great debt for the most marvellous experience of my life.
By the way, how much do you have of O.T.O. secrets? Did you see the secret MSS?
