Care Frater,

 

 

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

 

It was very kind of you to send me the books, but it so happened that a complete set reached me from another source by the same post, so that I did not have to open your parcel at all, and I am returning it.

     

As a token of good will however, let me renew my thanks.

     

With regard to Marriage. The Arabs have a saying that it is like a man who puts his hand into a bag with 999 poisonous snakes and one eel; he may pick out the eel.

     

I could add a great deal (if I had the time) on this subject, with which in connection with the past I have a good deal of knowledge and experience.

     

I should have thought The Secret Glory would have hindered you. But these impulses are really insane: ordinary rules do not apply. I wonder, however, if a prophetic strain was in you when you used the word ‘furious’.

 

Love is the law, love under will.

 

Your ever,

 

Fly [Fraternally]

 

666.
