Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
Couldn't answer yours yesterday: my birthday: telephone calls, wires, cables, visitors from Marmarchis to Hathor and to Toum!
O.K. about Liber Aleph: it was only that I wasn't sure. It is the bound set of proofs of Equinox Vol III No. 2 which has a big supplement "Jesus" [The Gospel According to St. Bernard Shaw], which has vanished. It cannot be replaced: I am in great distress. I enclose copy of Jack the Ripper! The Tarot [The Book of Thoth] can't get published at all until I find £30. They insist on cash to get the 4 extra colour plates; and they must be put in as pages have been left blank for them in the book. Otherwise it is ready to print off; when it is bound (not before) I will accept subscriptions. Quite a lot have been promised. So do find £10 (or more) for me—and call it a donation if you will! Anyhow I'll make it up to you soon or late. E.g. you could have the typescript of The Net [Moonchild] with all the real names of the people concerned. It will fetch £25 or more as soon as I am dead: and that will be very soon, unless this dreadful worry is abated. Do come to the rescue, as so often before, dear brother.
Love is the law, love under will.
Yours.
A.C.
