Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Holbrook Jackson
[On crested paper, headed 'The Royal St. George's Golf Club, Sandwich]
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.
