Dear Louis,

 

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.

 

Tiresome indeed, but I hope that everything will be all right as soon as Frieda [Frieda Harris] comes to town. The real trouble is that any attempt to deal in a businesslike way in any matter whatever, precipitates an attack of hysteria.

     

The awkward part is of course Pearson, whose attitude is very understandable, and the mess has disturbed other people who are helping us.

     

I am very sorry that your movements are so uncertain, and I wish you would go to the trouble of sending me a wire the day before when I may expect you. I think that if the worst comes to the worst you are the person to make negotiations feasible.

     

I do so lack your company: I feel like Browning lives or Judas!

 

Love is the law, love under will.

 

Yours,

 

Aleister.
