Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Martin Birnbaum

 

     

 

 

Dec. 21, 1914

 

 

The Wolcott

4 West 31st Street

New York

 

 

My Dear Birnbaum:

 

Magnificent surprise, the lithographs.[1] Really a success that beggars talk. The moment I am free—and I am moving to 40 West 36th Street tomorrow—I shall come around and weep upon your exquisitely chiselled neck, in the presence of 216 reporters, all sobbing in sympathy.

 

Toujours,

 

Aleister Crowley
