Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Charles Stansfeld Jones
Titusville, Fla.
11/3/17. E.V.
Beloved Son,
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
I have your paper on F. Your own criticisms are just. It is not knit properly. I think I said in my last that you must show necessity. Anyhow, it's only for VII. I don't think there is any real Word there, in any case; but it is fine practice.
You will find an official insertion for II. (This is delayed; typist slack.) It will be read not learnt.
There is another insertion. (This is delayed; will send in a completed form.) I may mention that these things are A∴A∴ secrets of a grade higher than yours, in a sense; but my relations with you are now more intimate than fraternal merely. I am hoping to work with you all summer, and to put all things on a fully prepared base. There is very much to do in the way of editorial work; rules to make about titles of officers, to take a petty thing; rituals to revise finally, and to construct, for a big thing. Then I hope you will make it possible for me to supply the one main thing missing, so that some new great task may be begun. You are not yet aware of the Paris Working.
Tell me at once how far you have gone with Cannaughton, and all details about him. If, for example, he were willing to take care of us both all summer, it might be possible for me to come over there. It seems that any other plan would mean a lot of expense; and so far, I see no chance of any success. Still, no doubt they will fix things as they should be.
Love is the law, love under will.
The Blessing of the All-One be upon you.
Fraternally,
Θ
