Jane Wolfe Diary Entry Monday, 16 October 1939
Culling [Louis Culling] gave Wilfred's [Wilfred Talbot Smith] address to Floyd E. Wade, living sane 6 miles out of Fallbrook. who for the past 11 years has fought, bled and all but died to retain possession of the 640 acres of virgin territory he homesteaded—and for which he now awaits the final papers. This Valley Wade always wanted used as a Retreat. He approached the Heindel group, the Point Lana folks and one other I think, but without avail. So we were tried.
We accepted and one Sunday Wilfred and Regina [Regina Kahl], Roy Leffingwell and Rhea [Reea Leffingwell] performed the Mass [Gnostic Mass] there, christened the Valley 'Agape Valley' and put Wade through the Minerval degree.
It has taken many letters and visits to cane to an agreeable understanding with Wade—Smith insisting it had first to be deeded to the Order: Wade suspicious of Smith's motives.
