Dear Phil:

 

The manuscript of John St. John was mailed to you last Friday.

     

Today I have mailed the following: manuscripts of The Sword of Song and Lines to a Young Lady Violinist & Energized Enthusiasm and the printed copy of The Book of the Goetia of Solomon the King—three items in all. Some of the pages of Goetia have not been opened and I would prefer that you did not cut them unless it is very important to you that they be cut. As with the other items I have loaned you, you may keep these as long as you like providing you give me a definite date as to when they will be returned and then have them back to me by that date.

     

When you have received the above you will have seen everything I have on Crowley, aside from the volumes two and three of the Collected Works, the two biographies by Symonds [John Symonds] and the little pamphlet (which Yorke [Gerald Yorke] sent me), An Open Letter to Lord Beaverbrook. I am not certain that is the exact title of the last item, but you will know what I mean. I understand you are not interested in any of these items, so I am not sending them.

     

I have insured the various parcels and would appreciate it if you would do likewise in sending them back to me, as I would feel very bad if anything happened to the books.

 

Regards,

 

Robert Lund
