Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Taylor
[Undated: circa May 1913]
My dear Taylor,
I have been away, or would have answered your letter of 6 May long ago. With regard to the question of prosecuting Isenthal; it is quite true that we took civil proceedings, but on the supposition that the money was in the Bank. His refusal to pay is the first indication that we have had that the money has been stolen. e were not in a position to take criminal proceedings before, because we had no reason to suppose that it had been stolen. I am perfectly prepared to tell the Magistrate that I waive all claim to the money and that he can have it for the poor box if it is received from the criminal. So that it would not be possible to construe our action as an attempt to enforce payment of the debt.
Yours very truly.
