Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Ethel Archer
3, Great James Street.
8th. October, 1912.
Dear Wieland,
Very glad to have your letter; we were beginning to get quite worried about you. We want you back very badly; Kennedy has been ill for a week, and last night we had Adams in your place: after a weeks careful drilling, he said instead of "Have you anything to communicate" "Have you anything to declare?"—Quite the success of the evening! At the same time, it is no use coming back until you are really fir, or you will crock up again. The new place still hangs fire and I have not yet got the agreement to sign. O! What misery, birth incessantly! It is rather absurd of your host asking what is the Qu'bala; the Royal Arch is all pure Qabalah. Talk to him about that; I think you have my rituals (printed one of R[oyal] A[rch]). As soon as you come back, I think I shall go away for a month almost immediately, though it is very awkward, as there is such a lot to do. Anyway, the point for you to consider is your health. London is all cold and fog—no good to anyone.
Yours ever,
Crowley.
