Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Inspector Draper
Apr 27/[19]25
Dear Sir,
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
Mr. Mudd [Norman Mudd] will enclose with this an account of an incident which is really too stupid to believe. It looks as if some gutter-newspaper man had been personating a detective. I have been continuously in North Africa since Oct 1. Any information that you want about me or my movements, as I wrote long ago to Inspector Flitch, is entirely at the service of Scotland Yard. I have nothing whatever to conceal; and, in the interest of the Public Purse, I suggest that in future you get the information you desire from an authoritative source.
In particular, if you wish to charge me with any offence, I will make arrangements to come at once to England and stand my trial. But I must confess that it does not inspire me with increased respect for the ability of those concerned that I should be constantly hearing of these round-about methods and cowardly innuendos.
Love is the law, love under will.
Yours truly,
Edward Alexander Crowley.
