Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to James Branch Cabell
Thelema R.F.D. No. 2., Decatur, Ga.
Oct 29, 1919 E.V.
Dear Mr. Cabell,
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
I was very pleased to get yours of the 24th. It was perfectly stupid of me not to put an address. My crazy note was spontaneous: I happened to be kept waiting in an office when I was very drunk on Jurgen. I am sending you a note on the book, which I hope may please.
It is terribly difficult to get any of my books: the stock is tied up in London. I should like to send you a copy of something as soon as I can lay hold on one. Did Holt send you The Equinox. He should have, as I reviewed your "Beyond Life" (The Cream of the Jest is not mine, by the way.) Your occultism is perfectly good, as stated in the enclosed. Great artists always understand magick, even when they don't believe in it. Art and Magick are Siamese-twin sisters.
Love is the law, love under will.
Yours sincerely,
Aleister Crowley
