Correspondence from George MacNie Cowie to Aleister Crowley

 

     

 

14 Glenisla Gardens, Edinburgh.

 

 

[Undated: circa November 1916?]

 

 

Note.

     

Previous to the last letter, a short note came (I have mislaid it) saying that he [Eustace Miles] had decided he must not take up anything new till he'd got through with something else in 6 months time. "Do etc" says I. Also, he was returning my copy of L.L. [Liber Legis] I lent him, seemed a bit frightened. Meanwhile a letter crossed, which I wrote on Sunday, giving him the interpretation, so to say, of some points.

     

This has evidently made him reconsider.

     

I like his letters. He has plenty of sense. I wonder if you wouldn't like to write him, personally. He'd take it as a compliment. It's simple to say that one of your lieutenants sent on his letters, and you were struck by the superlative superlativeness etc. He'd be a valuable recruit.
