Dear Noel,

 

93.

 

Glad to hear from you; but alas! for your news. Did you get "Thumbs Up"!—are two editions: I sent you them both. My plans are very uncertain. I remember Brum [Birmingham] as it was 60 years ago!! Even then it knocked me down. "Inspissated gloom". And yet. . . . .? Incredible but true. My most romantic and significant honeymoon began there: Midnight Dec. 31-Jan. 1, 1897-8.

     

I don't know where anything is: I have an idea that a lot of stuff at Richmond was stolen. There may be books at Whiteleys [shopping center]: will see this week. A few trumps [for The Book of Thoth]—4, I think—will be ready at Xmas. Better write F.H. [Frieda Harris] yourself about Yi [King].

     

No word of Ataturk [Aleister Ataturk].

     

In a frantic hurry.

 

93     93/93.

 

Yours,

 

A.C.

 

P.S. The Goat [Liber OZ] is private to you, an Antichristmas gift. Others at cost price.
