Correspondence from Wilfred Talbot Smith to Charles Stansfeld Jones
[EXTRACT]
[24 April 1922]
Re R. [C. F. Russell] he seems to be in a peculiar state and seems to have learnt to talk big from A.C. with out the warrant of course that our Big Brother has. He tells me emphatically that the A∴A∴ is straight Devil worship and openly claims to be a Black Bro. He claims to be working on some scheme of his own to get Probationers and on my asking what A.C. thought of it he stated he had not consulted him, with something to the effect that he would destroy him and his Order if he interfered. He wanted me to assist him in his work when I got there, but stated I should have to swear by "333" who he seems to have set up as God and very God for himself, I told him I thought that none of my mottoes seemed to jibe with that formular, so I really did not learn very much about his plans.
