Correspondence from C. F. Russell to Aleister Crowley

Care Frater-
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law!
When I chose my motto, you suggested a Greek word which would convey its meaning. The idea I had in mind corresponds as near as I can find out to the word or name Tao, although I have only lately learned any thing about the system of the Tao. Now I am not sure how my motto "GENESTHAI" is spelt in Greek, and I would like to know how it is spelt in Hebrew so I can get its numeration, etc. I propose to use it in the construction of a ritual, so would like to be certain about these things, and since you suggested it, you can surely help me. I have never been able to find it in any Greek dictionary, and will be very grateful if you will tell me its spelling and what you mean it to mean.
Love is the law, love under will.
Yours fraternally,
[signed] C. F. Russell
