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

 

Here for a bit, and not having letters sent me from 93 [93 Jermyn St], so thought I'd let you know in case you had had one of your spasms, and condescended to notice me.

     

Nice here, but makes me heartsick (somehow) for Boleskine!

     

I needed a rest badly; this last 6 weeks I nearly killed myself with work. All is clear now for the Tarot [The Book of Thoth], except for the extra bit I wrote to you about.

     

I sleep the clock round, or listen to the soft whisper of the rain.

     

It is deliciously drowsy.

     

Shall hope to hear from you when I get back.

 

Love is the law, love under will.

 

Yours fraternally,

 

666.

     

Aleister.
