Correspondence from Martha Küntzel to Aleister Crowley
Leipzig
12. Jan. [1926]
Dear Great Brother,
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
Thank you and dear Lady Crowley ever so much for the lovely rose-oil, it is awfully kind of you to send it me.
Things are getting lively here, the Commisser has found it proper to tell us that [illegible] no longer to consider myself a member of the [illegible] in Leipzig and that we both, Gebhardi [Otto Gebhardi] and I, were not to enter Head Quarters or they would use their [illegible] authority. All the same since [illegible] H.R. [Herman Rudolph] [illegible] way of acting. You see, it is a hopeless case as far as one expects them to do their own thinking. H.R.'s powers of suggestion is very great.
There are several things in their [illegible], against which I shall protest, especially against the assembly of the members, who forced the resolution to forbid us entrance. We are not going to give in, but shall fight it out! The letter to H.R. signed [illegible] could never be sent away with this name under it. They would not understand the meaning of this signature and misinterpret it as an [illegible] letter. So it might do more harm than good.
Thanks very much for the second series of Essays. They are much easier than the first four, although we would have to add some rather long foot-notes. I've read the first Essays, but they take the knowledge of many [illegible] expressions and certain practices for granted, that I don't see how they could be understood. You never wrote to me, whether you approved of my choosing single lessons from Liber Aleph. We have sent off nine of these to some friends and I am going to get more ready as soon as it will be possible.
This is an awfully abrupt letter [illegible] please, that it sounds [illegible] at all nice. It does not say how very thankful I am for every line from you, be it a letter or an essay. I do hope, you have got that house at last and are less worried. I am very busy, but I like my work and try to do my very best, though that says and implies very little.
Our warmest love to you and Lady Crowley.
Love is the law, love under will.
Little sister
Martha
Much love from everybody and we would be glad to hear from you.
