"Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
"The 'open mind'?--quite as good as the 'Open Door.' Unreasonable? No: but I wish you could hear the Law of Thelema on 'Reason'.

By the way, I am at work on the book, jotting down odd anecdotes as they recur. Thence months from now, I should have a full supply. I want, by the way, to sail for Lisbon on July 5.
