Correspondence from Raoul Loveday to His Parents
[Undated: circa December 1922]
Dear Mum and Dad,
Another line just to let you know how happy and comfortable we both are. Also to let you know that the articles in the Sunday Express, about the man [Aleister Crowley] in an annexe of whose house we are staying, are absolute lies, and written by an enemy. He was in the Secret Service in America; and had to pretend to be pro-German: hence they have a good opportunity to attack. An answer has been sent showing that every word is untrue. He has been as nice to us as anyone could be; and Robinson Smith is his friend. I thought I’d just send you this so that you could contradict it and needn’t worry.
Best wishes.
Your loving son,
Fred
