   "Here is a little-known letter from Grady McMurtry, Frater Hymenaeus Alpha
(Grand Master of O.T.O. after the Death of Frater 'Saturnus' to 7/12/85 e.v.).
This letter to Aleister Crowley discusses briefly Grady's documents of
authorization to assume control of OTO in case of emergency and various
logistical problems of the day.  One name of a living person has been eclipsed
for privacy."

Dear Aleister,

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

The Word of the Equinox has arrived along with the authorization to "take
over" in case of emergency.  Let us hope that it may not be necessary for me
to use it.

Yes, I mentioned to Karl when I came back from Europe that I thought that some
one should go over (to) help you straighten yourself out when you are ready to
come over here.  At that time I saw no reason why I shouldn't be the one who
did the traveling but there is no reason why Jack or Jane couldn't do the
same.  Regardless of who is to go I think it advisable that we start planning
on it right away.  My position at present is this, Foxie - that's my wife - is
expecting to give birth to a new McMurtry in October.  We had not planned him
or her until after I finished school but things like that happen in the best
of families.  There are several points on the bright side, of course.  For one
thing it seems about time for some Thelemite to start having a family.  Except
for ..., who was outcast by Agape, no one down south has seen fit to do same.
In the second place I have reason to believe that this child is the outcome of
a ninth degree operation.  If so we may have super-man on our hands one of
these days.  But all of this leads to a certain complication.  In order to pay
for Junior's arrival and support ourselves in the meantime I will have to go
to work this summer and next fall or, if I come over to England, someone else
will have to foot the bill.  Then there is the matter of timing.  have you set
a definite date when you plan to leave the U.K.?  And the matter of passports.
I checked with the passport people here in San Francisco and they said that I
would have to show cause why I wanted to go to England.  Either I must be on
business or, if I am to render assistance to another person, then I will have
to have a doctor's certificate that such assistance is necessary.  Papers,
papers, papers!  It is just like the Army, there they think that the world
would stop turning if it didn't have paper to roll on.  Perhaps you had better
refer it all to Karl.  Then if he thinks Jane, for instance, could do the job
just as well as I could then he could see about getting her the certificate,
the passport, etc. and so on.

Here is a copy of "Space Tides", my latest effort in the line of poetry.  Had
hoped to make it longer but I had to cut it short as I wanted to enter it in a
poetry contest over at the University.  Then I found a copy of the poem that
won last year's prize and decided that I didn't have a chance.  "How beautiful
the sun is on the sea for the over the hill there is a flag-pole and a young
lady sits under the pear tree" kind of stuff.  We had a writer by the name of
Rexroth as guest speaker at the writer's conference over at Cal last Friday.
I was quite interested in what he had to say about the cliques and groups
among present day Scotch and English poets.  It seems that the only people who
are writing "modern" poetry in England today are either Comunists or
Anarchists.  Maybe it takes an Anarchist to understand modern poetry.

         Love is the law, love under will.

                      (Grady McMurtry)

   "The plans to get Crowley over to California came to nothing.  As Crowley
became increasingly ill in 1946 e.v., Agape Lodge members attempted to prepare
a house on farm land in Southern California.  Finally, someone thought to
describe the hot, dry climate to Crowley; and he wrote back to the effect that
it would kill him in days.  Germer tried to go to England to be with Crowley;
but, as noted in the last issue, a passport proved unobtainable."

Normandie in June


There is a pestilence abroad upon the land
There is a plague; it is the plague of War
And it leaves a foulness upon the air.
     It is the sickly sweet corruption of
          the unattended dead
     The dusky smell of charcoal in
          the cannon rubbled streets
And there are those who live in this pestilence
And those who go forward to die in it.
And they have known strange things, these men,
Things filthy, and foul, and corrupt.
And they have known bea
