Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Jane Wolfe
[on the stationary of the Splendid-Hotel, A. Ganichot Proprietaire.]
c/o American Express Co. Tunis.
Kaironan.
Dec 8 [1925]
Dear 516 [Jane Wolfe]
93.
They have sent me G.D.'s [Gabriel Dee]. advertisement. I confess I like it not.
I strongly advise you to say nothing, but to look for any other kind of a job, and get on to it quietly, as soon as you reasonably can.
I cannot allow myself to be mixed up, even, indirectly, with any such ways of making money.
I do not question her sincerity or honesty, and I cannot refuse advice to any human being, but I cannot admit any such professions as honourable. Their exercise disqualifies from admission to A∴A∴ and its dependent Orders.
Please be tactful about this. There is no need to mention the matter at all. Just slip out quietly.
93 93/93.
Fraternally,
666. O.S.V. 6º=5o Imperator R∴R∴ et A∴C∴
P.S. Things seem like coming right. Shall give you a holiday to do some real Work as soon as I can.
Love to Bayley [James Gilbert Bayley]: thank him for his letter, with its brilliantly paradoxical contradictions of his last "Contra O.P.V. [Norman Mudd]"
666.
