My dear Charles
There seems a chance of me being marooned here as the line is flooded to Beria. It is not the first time that we have noticed how things cease to run on oiled wheels the moment that the Spiritual work is over.
Salisbury went splendidly — not a vacant seat. Our books are all sold. We have about 200 pamphlets left which we may need.
I had an alleged psychic form sent in yesterday which is either a fraud (subconscious) or a masterpiece. The line occurs "Nature I loved, and often Nature art". Surely that is well known & yet I can't place it. Where is my ... secretary?
Well, it's very nice here, but I want to get on. That, I think, will be my last mortal utterance. A friend of yours, one Leonard Smith, came and sat with me at breakfast — a nice fellow.
All good thought to you both. I am better — nearly well but not yet suit to smoke. 3 weeks since I did so — the supreme will.
