Correspondence from Karl Germer to Jane Wolfe
[Undated: circa February 1955]
Don't be too mad and disappointed with me because I seem to be blowing hot and cold. Where I live now the feather of Maat seems to be so sensitive that the slightest spiritual waft of air operates like a storm. I've got to adapt myself and that takes much time. Remember that A.C., too, was exposed to such changes in judgment. In 1925 when he came to Weida, he ran into an extremely critical situation and for a while he did not know where to turn. Then he had to phone me from Tranker [Heinrich Tränker] to my home in Weida and found my number to be 358. Then he decided to break with Tranker, move over to my house with Dorothy [Dorothy Olsen], Leea [Leah Hirsig], Mudd [Norman Mudd]. But what happened in 1951 [sic], after the exhibition of his paintings? There was a violent row. He despaired and appointed Smith [Wilfred Talbot Smith] his heir, as X° O.T.O., etc. etc. He had given me up as a total loss.
