Jane Wolfe Diary Entry Wednesday, 18 November 1942
Regina [Regina Kahl] moved over to the home of a man she met when first coming to L.A., this the 14th, and during the past few days took out of the house boxes and boxes of things, most of them accumulated since her life with Wilfred [Wilfred Talbot Smith], some of them purchased for or donated to the Order. He is going through a terrific ordeal—not so much at her going as at this grasping of things.
After a 2 or 3 hours talking & hammering Tuesday afternoon, she broke down, discovered her selfishness, and this morning began returning things.
About noon I received a Letter of Instructions from Baphomet, with an enclosure. (Copies annexed.)
I read my letter over and over. I was flabbergasted, overwhelmed: but, I can't do this to Wilfred! For, as I reasoned, it was based on a letter I wrote A.C., in which I outlined to him one aspect of an ordeal through which Jack [Jack Parsons] was passing at the time; and this aspect had entertained me and I thought would him also!
Late that afternoon I took Jack into my confidence and showed him both letters—without comment, for we were both silent.
Still later I gave Wilfred the letter from Baphomet. He read it in my presence, and took it quietly—being wrung too dry by the Regina ordeal.
After dinner, I showed W.T.S. my Instructions.
