ALEISTER CROWLEY,

Somewhere in London.

Unpleasant Person,—I have just read the prospectus of the six volumes of autobiography [The Confessions of Aleister Crowley], which you have prevailed on some obscure publisher to put out for you, at two guineas per volume.

Even the prospectus is nauseating so that the actual work will certainly be a contamination like an open sewer.

Although the price is high, filth filters down, so I invite the attention of the Home Secretary to your little effort.

If his predecessor put down the “Well of Loneliness,” how much more should Mr. Clynes suppress your shameful life story the moment it is published.

Your utter depravity is proved by the fact that you now boast yourself as an erotic maniac, “magician” and crucifier of toads.

JOHN BULL
