My dear Grady

 

93

 

I hope you and yours are well. Here we had a really awful winter. March 8th I came within an ace of cashing in my chips! I am still rather groggy. That is one good reason why I am worried at not having heard from you for so long: in case of things happening you will become a man of very great importance and responsibility. You ought to keep in close and constant touch with me.—one never knows—at least, without inquiring, and death is a subject which I do not think it right to be inquisitive.

 

Well, I hope to hear from you soon—with some good news

Yours

Memo

 

93,

 

Yours to hand this A.M. No time to seal it till to-night!

     

Found a “Magick” [Magick in Theory and Practice] better than the 4-vol, as it’s convenient to have them all in one. But it reduces the selling value, when you’re through with it, if ever: So I’ve knocked £1.1.0 off the regular price.

     

Haste! Haste!
