Dear Fuller,

 

The Eq. [Equinox] won't be out a single day early; much more likely to be a day or more late. I'm dog tired; going to Felixstowe for a week. That's an interesting note about ton-ken.

     

Be back punctually on the 24th. I must leave at end of month, I guess; and we've lots to do. I'm hoping rather that you will be able to get The Temple [The Temple of Solomon the King] less than 100 pp this time; there is such a lot of other stuff. It's all ready bar 'the Ordeals etc' which I must get from Above and the 48 calls, in which we so ably collaborate. And a couple of small poems, that can be thrown in at any moment. I hope (by the way) you will come home a millionaire. My affairs are all right, if only Rose [Rose Kelly] can be kept sober at the critical moment. And then we shall see what we shall see!

     

If K2 is on for next year, I shall be in London most of the winter buying things, and so able to lighten your work considerably. If not, or if we decide on Kinchin, I think a month or two of Egypt would save my soul.

 

Yours

 

Aleister Crowley
