Dear Lieutenant Yorke,

 

Thank you ever so much. As you say, the response to my appeal only raised only 1-10- and the rent was owing. Now, I have written to the landlord to find out what is owing, and if you do not mind, I will put your kind subscription to mine and get A.C. the right side of his flat difficulties. His address is—

          

The Gardens—

Middle Warberry Rd

Torquay.

     

He has a semi-basement flat at £2 a week, not too bad—about as cheap as he can get because he must be on electric current for his asthma machine. I would send him the cheque, only I am afraid it will disappear and the rent will still be in arrears. He is difficult. He seems to be working on a new book on Yi King. I find it hard to understand at all—Michael Houghton seems to think he can do something about publishing the Tarot [The Book of Thoth]. Would you like to look at the manuscript?—I have 2 copies and could send you one.

     

I will send your book at once.

     

Again thanking and I shall be glad to know if you would prefer me to send the cheque straight to A.C.

 

Yours sincerely

 

Frieda Harris
