Dear Louis

 

This is to confirm my message to O’N of yesterday.

     

Spencer Lewis is dead. So there will be no single co-ordinating & directing intelligence to oppose: His family are mere hangers-on, always quarreling over the spoils. So your visit appears timely.

     

I am here, Frieda [Frieda Harris] being in France till Aug 31 or war, whichever comes first.

     

To finish my end of the Tarot.

     

I am free any time after noon of Wednesday. Will you lunch or dine here? Or shall I come to town?

     

The former is more convenient for me if it’s lunch, the latter if it’s dinner.

     

I hope you had a good time in the West.

 

Yours

 

Aleister
