Correspondence from Charles Stansfeld Jones to Aleister Crowley
Post Office Box 70 Vancouver. B.C.
April 29th 1917 E.V.
Beloved Father,
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
It is a long time now since I had a line from you, and in spite of the fact that your last letter stated you were too rushed to write for the moment, I am beginning to wonder if all is well, or if perhaps a letter has gone astray.
May is now upon us, and there is a feeling that things are winding up preparatory to some considerable change in one direction or another. I very much want to hear of your plans, because until I do so I can do little in the way of taking any definite step.
I have a feeling that my time is nearly run as regards Vancouver, everything seems to point that way, yet it will need a very strenuous and desperate effort to get away, either alone or with the family, unless of course some unexpected means presents itself. I feel sure that something will be done and the way become clear soon, so please tell me if you have any definite move in mind, so that I may have a chance of deciding what is the right course of action this end.
There is little to report: the lectures are going along as arranged and the series is nearly at an end, no great stir has been made. The affairs of the various B[lessed] b[rethren] seem almost as undecided as my own. It is possible that within a month they may have mostly left the City. I hope at least three will be on a tour during which they will do something in the way of preaching the Law, but I am a little skeptical as to how much they will really do when it comes down to 'brass tacks.'
I had a very encouraging letter from Bro. Cowie [George MacNie Cowie]. London seems to be in excellent shape. His own health is evidently much improved I am glad to hear. I also noticed some interesting news in the papers the other day, that seemed to have something to do with O.H.O.
Love is the law, love under will.
Your devoted son,
