I haven't written before. Events moved so quickly that I felt that everything would be changed before you got my letter.
Now that my body has been found—I have no details of this—I feel more comfortable.
I must say I think you have managed this pretty darn well! The next step is—if you have a celebrated medium in Lisbon—to get a Message from the Mighty Dead. I am trying thin in London, Berlin, and U.S.A. Then, in good time, we expose the whole thing. We make everybody laugh on one side, and put over the Company.
I'm rather anxious to hear of your man. The Germers are a little nervous about their £2000, but would react well to news tending to restore their confidence in the business success of the proposal. I take it you have prospectuses by now.
I hope you got Armstrong [the American Consul] going well. It is hard to believe that God could make any one such a perfect idiot. But it is very hopeful that it should be so!
Sister Anu [Hanni Jaeger] is very well and happy, and asks me to send you her love. If you see the half-caste, give her a kiss from her!
Aldous Huxley and J.W.N. Sullivan are here, and we spend most of the day and night together. Especially at the Mikado, where all the women are dressed as men, and vice-versa.
Well, we must go to lunch, so fare thee well.

I think you are wonderful.
