Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Louis Umfreville Wilkinson
1005 Carnegie Hall New York
10 May [19]17.
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
So you have not forgotten your function as comforter. ’Tis the chief of pleasures to hear of any one getting anything. But tien fol est qui s’y fie. The danger of taking anything at its face value (or indeed at any value at all) is really a terrible one. The Chapter in the Book of Lies “Terrier-work” is indicated, thrice daily after visions, in a little alkahest.
I enclose the dollar; I shall never have another, in all likelihood. Frame it, labelled accordingly. I want it proved one day that I once did pay some one back.
Conviction grows that the elixir is the right one for you; so keenly await news of now-old preparation.
Love is the law, love under will.
ΤΟ ΜΕΓΑ ΘΗΡΙΟΝ
[Handwritten in Crowley's handwriting on back of letter] P.S. I had to take the dollar out. My mother died and I had to gather pennies to cable home. I trust I’ll have another dollar in a week or ten days.
