Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Gerald Kelly
[undated: circa October 1904]
Dear Gerald.
Chesterton [G.K. Chesterton] is dumb. Will you be kind enough to do what you suggested as to finding out what is the cause thereof? If it is mere dumbness I shall compare myself to a fishing boat from Hull fired at by Admiral Chestertenskyovitch, who retreats when he finds there is a Channel Fleet ready to biff him in the Channel of the Daily News or anywhere else.
Bell, with whom I talk much, thinks G.K.C. too journalistic.
But bid me smight the fellow or abstain. I will take your word for it. But haste.
The only question is whether I shall add a short Postscript to my reply twitting him with his pusillanimity.
Yrs (care Bowley 25 rue de Longchamps) or at Hotel St. James, Aleister.
