My dear Louis

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.

Yours of July 4 relieved me greatly; I had feared that non-arrival of $ implied your incapacity. I too am safe so far, though not out of range.

You were the first subscriber, & your copy — one of the specially bound, honoris causa — is the first to be sent out. It awaits only some one to take it to the post.

Why send via Jack {Parsons} — why not via Karl {Germer}. So much nearer. I’m not in any need of it this instant, in any case. My credit is O.K. here, & I am going to give up Jermyn St. Am now looking for a big house to start an Abbey of Thelema — several people are willing to come in.
I wrote to you some time back, also sent some copies of La Gauloise — I hope to-day will {…?} it sung by lots of its own people in its own country!

No special news — all seems going well enough all round.

Best of all to you! I chose No. X Jupiter to bring you luck.

Love is the law, love under will.

Yours ever.
