Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Richmond
13 September [1913]
Care Frater
The Chancellor of the A∴A∴ desires me to say that he is glad to receive your record. If you find the Dragon position too difficult, try another. You should get a position which is fairly comfortable at least. The pain should only develop in the course of the practice. You are quite mistaken that it would help you to talk over difficulties with other probationers. It is true that you begin like that, but such talks always degenerate. You will see an official pronouncement by the Chancellor to that effect in the Equinox X. If you find that the pain of the position diminishes with practice, and if you think that you will ultimately be able to succeed in it, then persist. You need not do astral visions in any position. You can try sitting in a chair as you did when you were at Headquarters.
Yours fraternally.
