Yes, I hope so too! But I never told or wrote you this before—you run round after Knowledge like a cat after valerian, but you never go deeply enough or accurately enough, into any one thing, to get Understanding.

     

I do hope (again!) that your Father William is the one that I have always reverenced so profoundly since the days of my first governess.

     

Glad you're coming here. Do you stay with us or with the Germers [Karl and Cora]? Please let me know. Also, if you could smuggle me 1/2 lb Perique, and get some of the things I need badly (e.g. shoes) from Regardie [Israel Regardie], I would be grateful.
