Dear Louis,

 

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

 

Yours of 29 July very welcome.

     

I hope you have the music by now; in case of loss, I will have another few copies made; this may take 2 or 3 weeks.

     

Surely I spoke to you of Roy Leffingwell, who manages [illegible] ranch out Barstow way? But, perhaps not, as you hadn’t met Max [Max Schneider].

     

I agree with your optimistic estimate: “Kukri” suggested short, sharp, & final, of course. But look at the figure for Sun in Libra (I enclose data for London, no time to set up others. But at Berlin Saturn on cusp of M.C. spells crash—crash—crash and then some!) My health improves constantly. The Book [The Book of Thoth] still sells—I hope your copy has come & I do 3 or 4 letters a week for “Aleister explains everything” [Magick without Tears].

     

The word more so the Song [La Galoise]. I thought it quite a point for Alliance if I got Delysia to sing it; French words & singer—British bard—American composer.

     

No more now; I must take my daily “constitutional” about an hours stroll though lovely woodland. I think of getting a regular pied-a-terre here.

 

Love is the law, love under will

 

Yours

 

A.C.
