My Dear Sir

Your MSS safe to hand will you please generally write to enclosed address as I often have to stay at home from ill health

As the “Ishtar” <1> will not be printed till after your paper is read before the Society there can be no difficulty in letting us have it for “Records of the Past <2>

You seem to misunderstand Bagsters part in the matter it is done purely con amore You and others give the Texts. Private friends the cash Bagster the printing Profits if any to be divided between the S.B.A & the Printers <3>

Hope to see you next week

Yrs fally
W. R. Cooper
