Dear Louis

 

Do what thou wilt is the whole of the law.

 

Many thanks for yours of the 15th. This is my 48th Magical birthday[1], but so far I have not had much out of it. I have booked your rooms for Dec 17 as you requested. About that infernal note I suppose the best way is for me to send it back to Mellinger [Frederic Mellinger] and I will repay you. I am rather sad though because I told you distinctly before you left that it would be all right if you got it changed into 10's or 5's. But what does it matter? I think the planet is finished from what Einstein says. I shall rejoice to see you.

 

Love is the law, love under will.

 

Yours

 

Aleister
