Correspondence from George MacNie Cowie to Aleister Crowley
14 Glenisla Gardens, Edinburgh.
10 March [1916]
Care Frater
W Steff Langston [William Steff-Langston] V degree is a capital fellow. I have heard from him twice lately and he is an all-righter. He states that the copies of the Message [Message of the Master Therion] he has given away seem to impress people greatly. He appears to know many Masons, having been one himself, and that helps. He has three young people he wants brought in. I hope to see him when in London if he can come up. He is at present applying for an organists place in Johannesburg, and would be a valuable recruit for Windram [James Windram]. By the way I had no time to mention that when he paid (like a brick) his subscription, I in my gratitude unwarrantably promised he'd have the post of Chief Musician of the Temple, one day. He says he's composing music to one of your poems and wants to write to you about it, so I said I'd send on the latter.
I've just written to Hammond [Benjamin Charles Hammond] to try and wring a reply out of him. If I don't hear by Tuesday, when I write you, I think you might write direct to him to try to stir him up.
