Dear Jane,
93
Yours of Monday came this morning—as a shock if this were possible.
I agree with most of your remarks and I hope by this time you will have received a cable in reply to yours or Jack's [Jack Parsons]. The only trouble is you may not have A.C.'s present address. He wrote me some time ago that he would move to
c/o Vernon Symond, Esq. The Ridge Hastings, Sussex.
But immediately after I got the letter which I mailed Jack y'day.
Let me state my personal views.
If Smith [Wilfred T. Smith] has left Rainbow Valley is this due to notice from Culling [Louis Culling]? If so, is it because Culling saw 132 [Wilfred T. Smith] was not serious about Liber 132?[1] There was some talk of Culling asking Smith to leave if he did not start working seriously.
However it is, I don't like it, and I don't it, and I don't think this development speaks in favor of Smith. Still, I'd have to know more facts. But it is significant that the very moment Jack is beginning to work with a new and promising wave of enthusiasm, this disturbance sets in. He must know and realise that he has the sole responsibility; he is the only Head at Agape Lodge; that he must be firm and not tolerate interference of any kind. He should not weaken. Especially the injunction still holds good about personal relations with Smith as long as Liber 132 has not been accomplished.
I don't like this idea of Georgia's [Georgia Schneider] taking in Smith in her small apartment. You put the idea very clearly in your letter where you say 'you are united. . .'
Please show this to Jack and let him arm himself.
I'll send a copy of this to A.C.
93 93/93
With love,
Karl
1 - Liber 132, or Liber Apotheosis, was a set of instructions for Wilfred T. Smith's magical retirement.
