Correspondence from Raymond Nadigan to Norman Mudd
15, Copthall Avenue, E.C.
September, 9th. 1924.
Dear Mr. Mudd,
Yours of the 7th. to hand this morning. It seems to me as I have said before, that the simplest method of procuring money for Crowley to live upon would be to arrange with various booksellers who deal in second hand books and first editions to sell such copies of Crowley's books as he may now possess. He has often told me that he has a good stock. I see by certain catalogues and advertisements that some of Crowley's books are valued beyond their published price. Why not try? It is the line of least resistance.
Second hand booksellers seem willing to market Crowley's poems and prose work. When they had created a reasonable market for what he has already published then you would have little difficulty in issuing a selection which should command a wide public for I agree with you in thinking Crowley our greatest living poet. I am not all in favour of squabbling with the dregs of Fleet Street.
Yours truly,
Raymond Nadigan.
Norman Mudd, Esq.
