Correspondence from George MacNie Cowie to Aleister Crowley
14 Glenisla Gardens, Edinburgh.
[Undated: circa 1914?]
Care Frater
20/- enclosed in kind. This clears me off and according to my simple system of book-keeping, the O.T.O. is gifted with the noble sum of 1/9 or so (Possibly only 9 d). I did my best today, was ready to move heaven and earth and hell to make myself a general nuisance and get your poem printed someway or other. The only result was a flat and decisive refusal. The firm do not appear to believe in the possibility of, or any necessity for, American intervention, and do not believe in the possibility that the poem would help in any event. I had got a typed copy made so that if they kept the original I could pass a copy on to the Scotsman also. I nearly did so, but after decided to wait your next advice. I assume you'd want the newspapers to print it indifferent to fee? If the original is scarce, two typed copies (omitting the 2 stanzas) are at your service and I'd forward them to any paper you like—Scotsman Herald etc.
Must stop, interrupted.
Yours
F[iat] P[ax]
