Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to J.F.C. Fuller
49 rue Vavin Paris
[Postmarked 21 July 1908]
Dear Fuller,
Your note brought joy to this hungry heart. For the Beautiful One [Nina Olivier] is ill and the day is all work which makes Crowley a dull boy.
I'm damn glad Scaffolding[1] goes well. Did you V.F. billed me the last fortnight? That thy Thane Victor B. [Victor B. Neuburg] is with me doing fasts and vigils. We think of going to Lourdes and walking to see La Saleya in Granada as promised in K.O.P.
You have all the E's T [The World's Tragedy] except the proem, which is only just about to be typed. You've read it, I think. I shouldn't take Dewning for gospel, unless confirmed by totally independent evidence.
But time will show, and I'll raise
hell for [illegible] if I find myself disengaged. He only
had 50 copies of
I've been working at Sir Palamedes and done a play called Mr. Todd. Much else, but mostly loose ends, so nothing to brag of.
I'm fit—can hold back two hours again—which is very satisfactory to know.
I suppose you got the tintype!
Write me often. If I go to Spain 'twill be in a week's time. I will keep you apprised of my address.
Salaams to Memsahib
I trust your honour's feet
