Correspondence from John Butler Yeats to John Quinn
[EXTRACT]
[14 March 1916]
[ . . . ]
He [Crowley] boasts he is not afraid because John Quinn will always find bail for him and protect him. She [Jeanne Foster] thinks he is a cocaine fiend. At the very start I had warned her, so that she has never let him get so much as a letter from her. He has some girl with him, and he sent this girl to her with a message to say that she [Jeanne Foster] must help him or he would destroy her. The girl wept all the time while giving the message. Mrs. Foster told her politely to go to the devil. The Government here and the English government are both busy watching him with detectives. The English authorities say he is a spy and that he has been to Canada.
