Correspondence from to William Bradley to Aleister Crowley
13 October, 1925.
Dear Mr. Crowley,
I have your letter of the 9th giving change of address. I am sorry to have no good news to give you in return. On the contrary, the publisher in New York who was originally interested in the idea of doing your memoirs [The Confessions of Aleister Crowley], has finally abandoned the project, on the sight of the manuscript, and a second has also refused after examination. Others approached on the subject, even refused to consider it because of the articles which appeared in the Hearst papers. Discouraged, my representative finally decided that there was nothing more to do and returned the manuscript which I now hold here pending [illegible] the books which you were kind enough to let me see.
I am sorry that my efforts on your behalf have met with so little success, and I can only hope that you will have better luck elsewhere.
With kind regards, I am,
Very faithfully yours,
Aleister Crowley, Esq., % American Express Co., Marseille.
