Die Jupiter
Hail unto Khephra!
My errors of the day accumulated in the well-known manner until I broke the one o'clock curfew on a pitifully poor excuse, & after Lights Out went on talking—it ended by my mentioning the forbidden word ‘money’. I then realized the extent of my iniquity, & took a vow of silence.
I then asked 93—as a child might its father—for a good night's rest, & an awakening fit for work, despite all this naughtiness. The request was granted with surprising completeness—observe, I am still surprised at what be the most natural effect in the world.
I am encouraged to apply this method to [Heroin].
