Correspondence from to William Bradley to Aleister Crowley
29 May, 1925.
Dear Mr. Crowley,
I have taken you the matter of your “Confessions” [The Confessions of Aleister Crowley] with two publishers who happened to be in Paris and showed them the table of contents. Both felt there might very well be something very interesting in the book and serial rights, but both insisted it would first be necessary to see the complete manuscript. Unfortunately neither could stay here long enough to go more fully into the matter here.
On the other hand, my New York representative, who has just returned to the States, was very much interested indeed and thought that she might very well succeed in placing the work. Would you care to have her follow up on it there? If so, I would propose to send her, first, the table of contents whish you entrusted to me, and which I am holding, and, second, a duplicate of the manuscript or, if that is not available, a set of proofs when you have received them from your printer, Mr. Clarke.
Yes, I do general agency work and, though I have done little with Central Europe so far, I should not be indisposed to enter that field. [illegible] I have never as yet handled, save in regard to book rights.
With kind regards, I am,
Very sincerely yours,
Aleister Crowley, Esq. Hotel du Dauphin, Paris.
