Truth To Tell.

John Symonds.

Help? John Symonds, of 19 Arkwright Road, Hampstead, London, has dropped us a line in the following terms: “I am preparing a life of the late Aleister Crowley, poet, mountaineer and magician who made me his literary executor. I should be extremely grateful if any of your readers would let me see any early letters (before 1919), parts of ‘Magical Diaries,’ the page-proofs of the third volume of the Confessions [The Confessions of Aleister Crowley] which was never published, or any other material.”

We always thought a literary executor was an editor.
