[6 November 1906]

Dear Fuller,

Saturday or Sunday we are free any time and glad to see you.

You must be careful—you left a devil behind you last Sunday that came within an ace of killing me! It had a sharp pointed beak (curved) no eyes, a hunched back, no arms or wings, no legs but a single tapering tail, balanced on a rounded piece of its own excrement.

With a thing like that King of the Castle it was a wonder that I who write am alive—for some minutes I really thought it was all over with me. Still, I am glad you left it behind, and I hope it will never trouble you again.

Yours not as mad as I seem

Aleister Crowley

P.S. Your V.R. with its 2500 4to pp has arrived; also my 'Gematria Dictionary' and other things you wanted to see e.g. Waite's [Arthur Edward Waite] 'Real History of the ians [Rosicrucians]'
