Correspondence from Charles Stansfeld Jones to Aleister Crowley
O.T.O. SANCTUARY OF THE GNOSIS U.S.A.
January the nineteenth Nineteen hundred & twenty five
To the Most Worshipful PHOENIX, O.H.O.
From TANTALUS LEUCOCEPHALUS, Grand Master U.S.A.
Greetings on all Points of the Triangle
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law!
This is to acknowledge the receipt of your communication of An XX, Sol in 0.Deg. Capricornus, and to thank you for the confirmation of my Charter for the U.S.A.
As suggested I have dropped my previous Name and adopted that of one of the noble species of birds, the Pelicanus-Ibis. The Alchemical and Qabalistic significance of this creature makes its name a most suitable one for the holder of the Office in question. One might write an essay on the subject for the tantalization of those in search of the great Secret.
I am sending you translations of Parts A. & B. of the last letter I received from Brother REGNARTUS [Heinrich Tränker] and also copies of two letters from Mrs. Reuss [Theodor Reuss] (with translators apologies for hurried work). I trust you will comment on these in due course.
I doubt if I shall be able to attend the Conference in May, but trust you will do so.
Yours fraternally in the Bonds of the Order.
