Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Jane Wolfe

Dear 516 [Jane Wolfe]
93.
Yours of 9th.
(1.) I need urgently 6 "Mortaldello". Order enclosed.
Eq[uino]x. The idea was to repurchase the copies sold by Murray [Adam Murray] secretly at rubbish prices.
As soon as possible, we shall have a fund to purchase all copies in the market up to a certain (fairly high) price. We can't wait.
2. Glad it's over, and that you are "enlightened". That was my main object.
3. Stockings probably to-morrow. Thanks. No more needed.
Now this address is a perfectly lovely villa—a real villa! We have no money to spare to get you here, but we can put you up if you can raise the fare. Indeed, I shall be more than glad to have you here: Astrid [Dorothy Olsen] seeks a nurse-keeper (about 40% - 60%)
If you come, please buy me 1 lb of Pure Turkish Pipe Tobacco from Dunhill—should be very blonde and aromatic and medium cut.
Also any small pictures (less than 30" x 24") of mine.
Hope you can manage it—it's glorious here.
93 93/93
Fraternally ever,
666
Love to L.O.V. [James Gilbert Bayley] and thank him in re Rider's.
