Thanks for the 100 dollars. Better, but need nursing. S.W. [Scarlet Woman—Bertha Busch] wired you today to ask you to repeat the dose. Provided we can turn the corner, there are good hopes of putting things over big.

     

Krish [Krishnamurti] having definitely turned tail and A.B. [Annie Besant] being in dementia, and dying, it is imperative that I be proclaimed H.P.B.'s [Helena Petrovna Blavatsky] legitimate heir. See "The Voice of the Silence" "Biographical Note on the Master Therion" (with the Mediterranean Manifesto [To Man]) and the new paper by I.W.E. [Martha Küntzel] which I shall send you if ever I can get a copy typed.

     

I think both you and R [Regina Kahl] should look out for adequate support via the IX°. It is no good for you to vamp each other; that will soon wear out your Energy.

     

I'm not well enough yet to write at any length.
