Correspondence from Jane Wolfe to Karl Germer
5169 1/4 Fountain Avenue Los Angeles, 27, California
April 22, 1944 e.v.
Dear Karl:
93
Enclosed M.O. [Money Order] is from my sister, "Mary K.", who wants to buy a "Book of the Tarot": then come what may she will have a copy of her own, to consult or loan. I typed Jack's [Jack Parsons] letter to you, so know of his contribution; Ray [Ray Burlingame] told me of his good work. So something has been achieved, and I hope more than this known amount has flowed in to you or to A.C.
Hugh Christopher is now passing through a state I experienced at Cefalu, and never clarified. I copy a paragraph from his diary, and underscore my own experience. I shall be very glad to understand this 'blackness'.
"I've always worried about obsessions, as to whether or not I at times take on obsessions. Experiences stand out so clear & defined as to their starting & ending that it seems like obsession, or am I just cultivating the ability to separate & define 'experience'. At times there is a black astral object appears in flashes; is that an outsider or my soul body picturizing an experience about to happen or take form? Is it good or bad? Am I becoming aware of a split consciousness which I have had to overcome? Taking the idea of obsession out & looking at it, takes away the fear."
My 'blackness' was not in flashes; it stayed by me like a cloud—some times very close. It ceased all together before I left Cefalu.
Hugh was very badly messed up when I got hold of him, a feminine interior and masculine exterior; occasionally going at each other, hammer and tongs, like any man and woman. But he has improved tremendously, and the stammering ceased entirely except when he gets emotionally entangled.
I shall appreciate a little information about Frederic. You wrote some one he is very busy, and I would not want to disturb him, but he is doing a work more to his liking, to his betterment? I am sure he is learning much from his association with you, so I do not inquire in that direction. I have not heard from him since the beginning of the year.

With love,
Jane
