Care Frater

 

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

 

Your letter dated December 26th to Yorke [Gerald Yorke]. I wrote you on the 16th of December, telling you of the Kasimira [Kasimira Bass] catastrophe. We are still very much upset, in a business way about this. She must have gone completely off her head. She sneaked away with every kind of precaution that a professional criminal usually takes. However there are compensations.

     

I hope you realize how invaluable your loyal help is. If we had half a dozen like you, we could go ahead to victory with every kind of splash.

     

I wrote to Jane [Jane Wolfe] about you, moreover. I hope that you have by now taken the advice I conveyed in that letter. It is of vital importance if you are to put things over with any one. Please write me regularly. I always reply to letters immediately on receipt.

 

Love is the law, love under will.

 

Yours fraternally
