Correspondence from Martha Küntzel to Aleister Crowley
Leipzig
6th Aug [1926]
Dear Great Brother,
93.
I am still shaking in my limbs—though it is 5 hours that I had your distressing letter. Call me a downright fool, but I do not understand, that the Gods who have let you pass through all those terrible ordeals, should now, that your time has come and all is ready, hinder that very same work they have sent you to do! There should be hands ready on every side to help you. But in [illegible], even try, more helpless and confused now than ever, who is there to give money? It would cost money to find such people.
I wrote at once to Thea Walker and if she can which I most [illegible] hope, she will let you know from Berka, where she will get my letter by to-morrow morning.
Is not all this part of the fearful terrible forces that Tränker [Heinrich Tränker] set in motion when he had that vision? I can't help thinking of it.
I am sending your trousers as you wished me to and what I found besides and thought that it might be useful.
93 93/93.
In great distress and bereaving hope that by now all may be [illegible].
Ever Your loving little sister
I.W.E.
P.S. Gebhardi [Otto Gebhardi] sends his [illegible] of love and [illegible] of respect to you; he, too, is greatly distressed. The worst is always to see the suffering of a friend and not to be able to help!
