Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Holbrook Jackson

Wednesday. [Undated: circa late December 1908?]

 

 

Dear Mr. Holbrook Jackson,

 

I hope to hear from you (at this address) this week definitely about the short stories.

     

My 'Cancer)' story will be published [on 2, 9 and 16 January 1909, in the magazine "What's On?"], I hear, on Friday week, and if it makes any sort of sensation—as is just possible—my prices would fly up like a sky-rocker. But not come down again.

     

In any case, I should ask more for the 'Dream Circean', than for the Drug as its interest appeals to more people, and it is a real story as well as a fable.

     

I may conceivably be in London Monday or Tuesday next week, in which event I should like to see you.

 

Yours very truly,

 

Aleister Crowley.
