Care Frater:

 

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.

 

Thank you for your telegram of this afternoon. I recommend a further study of French law! Everything has started going with marvellous rapidity; but we are completely ties up from one minute to another, not knowing what is and what is not in the bank. Unless we have some kind of reserve to draw upon, we are unable to take any positive action. We never know whether a cheque is going to be cashed or whether it is not. You are very much in arrears with the £10 per week, as I told you before, The bank has not given us any receipt for your Pickford cheque or for another cheque that I had the other day, and we are completely fed up,. We are paralyzed. We are almost on the verge of beginning to become annoyed!!

     

I had a furious letter from Aumont [Gerard Aumont] this morning. But I suppose that by now he is all right. But why in the devil you cannot do things the way you say you are going to do them, I cannot understand.

     

Excuse the brevity, which if not the soul of wit, is the soul of something else which rhymes with it. I will answer your letter when the numerous callers on important business (whom we cannot entertain properly owing to your remarkable ideas as to the proper conduct of a trustee of a fund) permit.

 

Love is the law, love under will.

 

Yours fraternally,

 

666.

 

     

P.S. I am signing this letter as AC is busy and I want to get this off before 6 p.m. He is still, by the way, on the sick list.
