Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Gerald Yorke
55 Avenue de Suffren, Paris, VII.
October 18th, 1928.
Care Frater.
93.
Yours of no date with enclosure to Hunt [Carl de Vidal Hunt], and the other. We are lunching today with Mrs. Freeman, when I will give it to him. He will come Sunday night.
Please do not be disheartened about Simon Iff. It was accepted by Robert McBride in New York, and there is actually an existing contract with William Collins in London. It is just possible that proper representations might persuade him to carry out his agreement. You should remember that the first six stories dealing with English life are really an introduction to Simon Iff; and the American stories are hardly intelligible without them. I shall ask Hunt to bring over to you the International in which they appeared.
I am glad to hear what you say about the Hag [The Confessions of Aleister Crowley], and also about Ogden [C. K. Ogden].
Hunt's address is: 130 Boulevard Brune, XIV°. The address of Madam Gnoop Koopman-Waller is 9 Viotto-strasse, Amsterdam.
93 93/93.
Yours fraternally,
666.
P.S. All the manuscripts have been classified and we are waiting until the others come from Leipzig to complete the inventory.
The letters are being tackled today and ought to be finished by Saturday. As soon as they have been sorted out, we shall be in a position to prepare accounts. At present, the bills are scattered all over the place, and the check stubs are somewhere in France, but we ought to be able to get out a statement by the end of next week at the latest.
666.
Mr: Gerald Yorke, Esq. 9 Mansfield St., London, W. 1.
