Dear Louis
Yes you are a super-Tartufe-cum Uriah-Heep-cum-Britannia. You did not answer my last; you did not come to London in November; you—oh I just can't bear to talk about it. I can only say: Woman and no more daughter of mine, never darken these doors again! I suppose that you hold "Inter arma mens silot" but my youthful ardour finds this wisdom wearisome. I should like to dot those Mayfair Mummies bash on the breezer. What you say about the "mysteries" is ROT. I want a fresh mind, unprejudiced, to look at a confused mass, and put it into such shape that you can say: Now one can learn. I am very sad about Llewellyn though I knew him so slightly. But "Blood is thicker than water" means something to the Blood Royal.
Your friend
Aleister
