Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Gerald Yorke

Last night I dined C.K. Ogden. (Royal Societies Club) Magdalen. Camb[ridge] etc.
He revealed the Mysteries of Creation as to "my friend Arthur" and Co. Name is Vivian, just a kid.
Sieveking [Lance Sieveking] is a "personality man" for the B.B.C.—calls on important blokes, and persuades them that the country is lost unless they give a free talk!!! a quite minor post.
I fear we were badly bluffed.
Ogden agrees with me about Jix's[1] bogey game. Nobody protests against suppression of any book. The publisher just thanks God and pockets the shekels. But Jix wouldn't prosecute if defied openly—of course where his action is plain persecution, as it usually is.
Now Ogden is the man with Kegan Paul to whom Sieveking was to show 'Magick' [Magick in Theory and Practice]. I met him through Montgomery Evans. Really I do think the Gods are on the job. Gave him Book 4 Pts I and II.
He will call on you and take up the whole question.
