Dear John,

 

I am so sorry you did not call before you left London. You tell me that you can sell the reproductions [of his portrait of Crowley] rapidly enough at a Guinea a piece, which I can't do. I will be very glad to let you have 30 reproductions as a gift. But the point at issue is that Mdm Strindberg who owes me £120, is the real owner of both original and reproductions, and is indebted to you in the sum of £30. Whatever is in my possession is, of course, here as soon as she pays you and pays me, but until that blissful hour, I do not know what we can do.
