Jane Wolfe Diary Entry Sunday, 16 August 1936
We have just received a blow!
Last night Wilfred [Wilfred Talbot Smith] received a long-distance phone call from San Bernardino saying the firm were investigating Jacobi [Oliver Jacobi] for belonging to an immoral Order and living openly with a woman. (Marguerite gave up her apartment and moved into Jacobi's apartment with him "until she could find a place.") The speaker also said Jacobi was in danger of losing his job. Wilfred immediately telephoned these items to Jake, that he could be forearmed. The result is Jake is scared and has decided to give up the Order.
Jake called this a.m., saying he remembered his pledge. (I put my trust in myself in all cases of need) and decided to weather the storm, job or no job. He also did the Deacon's role in the Mass tonight.
