Correspondence from to Gerald Yorke to Charles Stansfeld Jones
9 April 1948
Dear Jones,
Your 29/3/48 to hand this morning. This is grand, I consider my attempt to heal the breach in the Order as accomplished.
I agree with you that until the very close of his life A.C. insisted on firm links with the past both in A∴A∴ and O.T.O. He was rightly keen on having a hierarchy in A∴A∴ and was bitterly disappointed in his failure to achieve one. I once told him I thought it dishonest of him to deceive the public into thinking that there was a genuine hierarchy when in fact the mottoes in the imprimatur seldom revealed the existence of more than three people.
I.W.E. was the motto of Martha Kuentzel [Martha Küntzel], who is now dead. O.S.V. stood for Ol Sonuf Varaosagi (I won't vouch for the spelling), an Enochian motto of A.C.'s. I forget now who was Volo Noscere [George Cecil Jones], but I am sure he is dead. Saturnus [Karl Germer] will probably know.
I realized to what the Diary of Nemo referred. Your P.P.S. is unintelligible to me without your magical records of 1943.
Your enclosure in your second letter of 29/3/48 did not worry me. I do not think A.C. had ever seen it. I look forward to receiving the long extract from your 1943 diary. The majority of your qabalistic references are at present unintelligible to me as they are based on diaries and working which I have not seen, even Liber 31 not yet having arrived.
I am more than delighted that you sent me two copies of that letter. I am sending it on to Saturnus, and append below a copy of my letter to him.
Yours,
G. Yorke.
