The Amexco business distresses me greatly. Lots of very valuable magical stuff there. I enclose a letter for them. If you make a personal call, I've no doubt they'll agree.
Please find out more about Mandrake [Mandrake Press]. Who bought it, wastepaper or a bookseller? We might get our stuff back for a song, even now.
Jones and P.G. talk O.D. [?]. How could any one have got cash from bank without my passport? It's a very thin excuse.
Can't you get Lloyd to stake us for (say) one year? It is the uncertainty that upsets Bill [Bertha Busch]— and me too—yea even me! We can live and entertain and work and put things over on £40 a month. But we must feel that we are safe from being thrown into the street in a days time; the imminence of disaster deadens all one's faculties as well as sapping one's self confidence. It even attacks one's physical health.

P.S. You said "Educate Willett". So I wrote him an Sammisati [?].
P.P.S. Jacoby [Oliver Jacobi] $20 just in. Coat cost R.M. 200—damn good one too. Bill looks superb in it. What of Hammond [Benjamin Charles Hammond]? Didn't he like the picture?
