Correspondence from Israel Regardie to Aleister Crowley
3547 Hertford Place, N. W., Washington, D. C.
August 4th, 1928
Dear Master Therion:
93
I am in receipt of both of your recent letters, and while I shall not at this time make comment upon the various points you so kindly extended to me, I wish to thank you most sincerely for the invitation you give me to come to Paris. Of course I had not contemplated receiving a salary for any secretarial work I might do, therefore your offer to supply board and lodging is overwhelming. Modest, you say! How else?
The thing is I have not a cent—so of course that is the only thing preventing me from sailing immediately. However, I am going to pull every string I can, and I shall write you once more towards the end of the week and see if the news that I will be able to send will be more satisfactory.
I shall close, but with the promise that I shall write again within at least ten days.
93 93/93.
Sincerely yours,
נחש [Israel Regardie]
[The following has been added in Crowley's handwriting.] I think this man ought to be left to do his best for himself, as a magical training. But if by say end Sept he really can't raise the [illegible], we ought to send it to him. He's a very promising youth, to judge by his letters, and can certainly be useful. He types well on a bad machine. Also, if we get a house to sort out papers, he can be in charge if I have to go to Berlin.
