Dear Evans.

 

Re the Chanler [Bob Chanler] book. I did not know it was from you. We turned it down in the Mandrake [Mandrake Press] and returned it to A.C. who had submitted it. God knows what he did with [it]. Regardie [Israel Regardie] (at Mandrake) might know as he is storing some of A.C.'s personal effects. The old boy seems to be up to some stunt in Portugal. Write him c/o Mandrake Press and they will forward it to Boca do Inferno, Hell or wherever he is. I am off to Africa myself, and shall appear again Xmas or New Year.

     

Thynne [Major Robert Thynne] will deal with your [illegible] translation in my absence. Glad you [illegible] us a chance.

 

In haste

 

Yours

 

Gerald Yorke.

 

Mandrake are abandoning nothing. But till A.C. chooses to appear again proof correcting etc etc is difficult and has to be postpones. He will turn up again in time, but till he does so we cannot produce his things.
