Correspondence from Jane Wolfe to Karl Germer
[26 September 1943]
A report of my position to date is due you. Last week I took up the matter of my leaving 1003 [1003 S. Orange Grove Avenue] with Mary K. [Mary K. Wolfe] (my sister) who remained in Hollywood when we moved to Pasadena. She will take me in, of course, but O, I fear the results. The place is small and her things practically fill it.
We get on each other's nerves in small places. I can escape her when she is at the Hospital, but she can never get rid of me.
She does not want to move—even could we find something larger in this war-worker saturated community—because she thinks I may pick up and leave at any time for O.T.O.
Jack [Jack Parsons] would like me to stay here, but this is entirely out of the question under existing circumstances, as I see it; and I have told him so.
Also, I am eager to help out financially, and the Hollywood arrangement would permit some sort of half-time activity I feel sure. In many respects I would like to be free of 1003, and yet when I am in Hollywood there is a strong feeling that moving now is premature—that there is something of importance just around the corner, which would, if true, necessitate a second move, did I go right now.
All this moving, in turn, is reckoning without the moving van. I have furniture, trunks, books, etc. Max [Max Schneider] is fortunate—moved in 2 trips in an auto—simple! How is it one keeps accumulating as the years, go by? Nothing bought by me—they were just turned over to me, and they are too good to leave behind. And it is well nigh impossible to get a van.
But, dear Karl, please do not leave me out of the Order! The Order, Aleister and you mean far too much for that.
