Correspondence from Jack Parsons to Karl Germer

Care Frater Saturnus [Karl Germer],
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
The recently completed operation proved satisfactory from every standpoint, but far more exhausting that I had anticipated. However I am continuing without pause upon the rather extensive program laid out for me for the coming year, utilising the appropriate restorative methods in recognition of my weakness.
Of that which passed it is at present
fittingly only that I indicate the following passage. "My
name is NAG, which in the sanskrit is serpent, and my number
is 54 and 9, that is the number of the fire of obeah, and of
the letter Teth, which signifies a serpent, and my number is
704, which is 11 that is a number of our body, whose letter
is also Teth, and this is the name I bear as I travel
through the abyss seeking the womb of my Lady BABALON, and
this is a numeration thereof, and this is my sign
Teth then is the signature that I shall use in this period.
I understand that you are preparing further manuscripts of A.C. for transcription. I am most interested in obtaining copies of the Comment on Liber 65 and on the Vision and the Voice, as well as any other unpublished works which pertain to my present study.
Although my finances are rather low, I would certainly want to share in the expense of typing or printing. I would much appreciate it if you would send a list of anything which is available, together with the price.
I understand that Brother Frederic [Frederic Mellinger] is now working with you. Please convey my best regards. The same to yourself and wife.
Love is the law, love under will.
Fraternally
Teth [Jack Parsons]

that was given unto Nagaya the cobra by the Lord Buddha, for
that he should tie the rest of the bond, and behold this is
the name and sign taken by thee when thou camest to puberty
in thy 14th year, thou understand it in nowise".
