Care Frater Beatus:
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
The Greetings of the Autumnal Equinox!
I have just returned from my trip to the mountains of Lower Calif.,
México, near the area where my wife and I spent some time visiting some
of her relatives. I enjoy very much such trips because it gives me a
chance to be by myself among the trees in a dry climate so beneficial
for the health of body and spirit.
I trust you and your wife are well, and that your problem of change of
home and practice will be resolved with satisfaction and great benefit.
Yes, the lot of the country Doctor is not an easy one, particularly
these days of specialization. Good luck to you and my best wishes.
Upon my arrival from México, I also received a letter from Brother
Englert (Telepharos), confirming what you hint to me about the
situation at Stein and requestion my help by providing him with certain
pertinent information.
I have answered his letter today. No doubt you will have the
opportunity to read it; it would be a good idea because it would give
you an insight about my position in the matter.
It would also serve as an answer to your request, although brief, but
along similar lines.
No, I did not get the book I sent you from either Brother Germer nor
from Mrs. Germer. Germer placed many such books for sale at New York. A
lady book-seller from there bought a local store, and I bought it from
her some 5 years ago for only $15.00, it was the last one she had, and
a good copy, the colors on the reproduction of the Stélé of Revelling
are much closer to the original than what you had previously seen. I
saw the book-store lady the other day to see if she had another copy.
She said that was the last one she had as they are unobtainable and
would probably sell for more than twice as much these days if she had
them.
Tell me, what is the extent of your Thelemic Library? Do you have "The
Heart of the Master?" In this little Book is found the revelation of
"The Temple of Truth," relating to the Initiation of Khaled Khan (The
Master Therion). It is very important and most illuminating.
With my heartiest brotherly love for you and your good wife Sr. Barbara
Love is the law, love under will,
