Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Mrs. Graham (Aelfrida Tillyard)

 

     

 

7 July [1913]

 

 

Wieland and Co. are most obliged by the enclosed. I think it is charming. I think you might possibly help me very much by getting your husband to write to his colleague in Moscow. Kind of introducing me, and that is the end of my hopes. I have to catch the 2.20 and travel continuously to Moscow to be there for a month unless I decided in the course of the next one half hour not to go at all, which seems more than likely. I should very much like to know, wild one, and cannot possibly make the humiliating remarks that you ask me to. I don't mind how many visions you have so long as they don't interfere with the serious work. You could dine quite well in the Robe of a Probationer. I entirely refuse to discuss the question of P.H.L. You give yourself away every time. I assure you that the most prolonged study of your excellent husband would afford me no information whatever on the point in dispute. Physical love is quite independent of the body: like practically everything else it is all brains.

     

Sorry I can't write more, but I am in a terrible state of mind about going away.

 

Yours fraternally.

 

Please address me c/o the British Consul Moscow unless you hear to the contrary.
