Correspondence from John Quinn to William Butler Yeats

 

 

[31 Nassau Street]

 

 

13 January 1915

 

 

My dear Yeats:

 

I should have written to you long ago. But I have been dreadfully rushed and have put off writing from week to week. . . .

 

 [ . . . ]

 

Aleister Crowley is here. He seems desperately hard up. One hears all sorts of stories about him but aside from a strong appetite for strong drink I've seen nothing wrong with him. His brand of the occult doesn't interest me in the least.

 

[ . . . ]

 

Good luck.

 

Sincerely yours,
