Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Frank Bennett
Au Cadran Bleu[1] Chelles, S. et M. France
May 24/[19]24
Care Frater,
Just a short letter to congratulate you very heartily on your troubles. You had to find out what those people were really like—the lowest kind of sneak thief on the largest scale. How could you possibly expect to do anything while you were tied to them? Now you have no responsibilities except to the Great Work, and you will be able to do it in first class style.
Of course you always have a home in my Abbey of Thelema. It may be better for you to work for a year or two very hard in Sydney, get things going as strong as possible, train up some one to follow you, and when you begin to feel in need of rest, come and take up the job in the Abbey.
Yours fraternally,
ΤΟ ΜΕΤΑ ΟΡΗΙΟΝ
1—A small hotel in Chelles, Seine-et-Marne, in the outer eastern suburbs of Paris, where Crowley and Leah Hirsig sometimes stayed.
