The scanned document below was sent to William R. Barden by Marcelo Ramos Motta on 17th February, 1985 e.v..

Mr. Motta instructed me to distribute it to a small group of helpers in Australia. These were O.T.O. Candidates who had bought computers and were helping to type the text of Magick in Theory and Practice and proofread the commented copy. Mr. J. H. Cabaniss IIIrd also typed five Chapters, so proofreading was a very important part of the project.

Thelemic Magick Unexpurgated Commented Part I was printed in 500 copies, which were received from the printer less than a week before his death. Daniel Ben Stone stole around 490 copies around ten days after Marcelo Ramos Motta’s death. He abstructed this book stock, along with a house full of documents, books and various other interesting and important materials, a library of over a thousand long-play records, computer equipment and word-processing files of his writings. MRM’s Commentaries to Thelemic Magick Unexpurgated, Part II were on those floppy-disks.

Upon my return from Brasil I called for contributions and we got another 500 copies printed by LV Graphica of Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brasil, the same printer who had printed several of the previous issues of The Oriflamme, Volume One. Unfortunately these were stored by the Lodge Master of Nuit Lodge. He, and the O.T.O. Director nominated by myself. In the manner of history, which repeats itself only too often, most of this book-stock has been lost to the Order and the public, since the two remaining Brasilian O.T.O. Members decided to abandon Frater P.K. and myself, in a most dangerous situation, after inviting us to reside with them in Brasil as their guests. If not for the generosity of other Members, we would have been left to fend for ourselves in a small town in “Sao Paulo, with less than AU$100 each, and nowhere to spend the night. We have no evidence that the Brasilians have continued to distribute these books, and no effort has been made to transfer to myself, the registered Supervisor General, the patrimony of the Society O.T.O., particularly the book stock (The Equinox, Volume V, The Oriflamme, Volume Six, and other books stored by Frater Parzival at Nuit Lodge.).
