My dear Yeats:

 

I received yours from Stephen's Green Club of April 10th on Tuesday of this week, the 20th.

A word about Crowley in answer to your letter. He is a perfect misfit here of course. His writings have no popular appeal. One hears awful things about him but beyond a big capacity for strong drink I have seen nothing crooked about him. But I have not seen him since the beginning of January and I only saw him two or three times all told. He is apparently "up against" financial difficulties as they say here.
