Correspondence from Ninette Shumway to Aleister Crowley
20 June [1928]
My dear Beast,
Mimi [Isabella Shumway] has been in the hospital 24 days in high fever and in a sorry state. She has had measles, then bronchitis. I am more inclined to think pneumonia, now abscesses.
I have done nothing; just waited, but my anxiety is terrible. I cannot let the child die without attempting to help her somehow. Can't you and Kasimira [Kasimira Bass] do something?
The hospitals of the 'Assistance Publique' are a sad place. Helen [Helen Fraux] is too far away. In heaven's name let Kasimira help me out.
Yours in utter torment.
Ninette
