Opus[1] XXXIX

 

 

11.20 p.m.

     

As XIV [Anna Katherine Miller].

     

Object: Success to Kennedy's [Leon Engers Kennedy] psychochromes.

     

Operation: p.v.n.[2] Orgasm as XXXVIII. Elixir very sweet and very strong. Mental concentration, good—I had prepared for it the whole day—but overwhelmed during part of orgasm by the intensity of the latter.

     


 

Result: Success only up to a certain point.
