Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Charles Stansfeld Jones
20 Aug 14.
Care Frater
In answer to your letter of July 22nd, I do not think there is any book on Astrology of any value whatever. The correspondence in 777 form as good a guide as you can have, but you are now competent to make your investigations, and I should strongly recommend you to undertake this; try and do it well and fully enough to publish.
With regard to your second question I think your plan would be excellent. I should lose no time in forming a group, but do it on your own personal responsibility and not as for the A∴A∴ because the A∴A∴ discourages group working, which is only another name for slackness and gossip, but by getting people together you may be able to stimulate one or two worthy persona to take up the cause. From the Manifesto [Manifesto of the M∴M∴M\] you will see a design of the O.T.O. You could certainly establish it, but you would need to be initiated. Next time you are in England we could put you through the degrees and give you a charter without too much difficulty.
Yours Fraternally.
Perdurabo.
