Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Theodor Reuss
[EXTRACT]
[27 November 1921]
It is my will to be O.H.O. [Outer Head of the Order] and Frater Superior of the Order and avail myself of your abdication—to proclaim myself as such. . . . You talk of my nominees. Do not forget that you sent the first of them a charter from yourself in the hopes that it would induce him to betray me.
I should really be obliged to you if you would tell me how you got into your head that I am a weak man. I have never taken off my hat to anybody except in condescension. Your undoubted age and your undoubted merit command respect but authority reposes on force.
Baphomet O.H.O.
