Yours of 2nd.
Very glad to hear R.R. [Raymond Radclyffe] is still about. His scheme is good, but hardly necessary, as Foreman [N. J. N. Foreman] will show you. We want really to call bookseller's attention to the existing high prices—to get the facts talked about. [illegible] might handle the whole business—as he did for the Kelmscott Press stuff.
But—avoid the word 'remainder', which applies only to left-over stock of large editions. My scheme from the first was to create complexity and rarity.
The Prospectus [for Magick in Theory and Practice] is not so bad. I'll consider, amend, and return.
I doubt Heineman. But, there are some new, young, [illegible] publishers who ought jump at it—even as a scandal.
I writing M.K. [Martha Küntzel] direct. But it's damnable not having a G.H.Q. [Grand Headquarters] with everything under my hand to refer to. I'm not at all sure that I know what is wanted, where it is to go etc.
