Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Gerald Yorke

Care Frater:

 

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.

 

I have just had a conference with Hunt [Carl de Vidal Hunt] who seems hopeful about the proposition which you know. About other matters he is not particularly clear. It seems evident that Cape [Jonathan Cape publishing firm] will take the "Memoirs" [The Confessions of Aleister Crowley] if they were re-written with an eye on libel actions, and in my judgment Hunt ought to be set down to do this as soon as possible.

     

What is wanted is a definite and exclusive contract with Hunt. He has got too many irons in the fire. We want him on this job all day and every day.

     

He hopes to have a definite answer before the end of the week, and if it is satisfactory there ought to be no difficulty about fixing him up. I will write again as soon as I hear anything worth writing about.

 

Love is the law, love under will.

 

Yours fraternally,

 

666.

 

 

Gerald Yorke, Esq.
