Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Gerald Yorke
December 3rd, 1928.
Care Frater:
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
Aumont [Gerard Aumont] has been here since Saturday evening. He could not change the date of his visit.
We had a long conference with Hunt [Carl de Vidal Hunt] yesterday afternoon, and everything has been satisfactorily arranged. The Manuscripts are to be sent to Paris at our expense, and Aumont is to come up again and go through them with us. In the mean while the question of financing Aumont can be discussed between us when you arrive. Hunt thought that it was quite senseless to make a loan at interest, if only because Aumont is really entitled to receive advances on his royalties. As long as he is working for us, I think he should be treated in the mist sympathetic spirit possible, and I have no doubt that when you arrive we can work out a scheme which will be satisfactory to us all,. He is going back tonight.
M. Freeman is now back in Paris from New York, and I have asked Mrs. Freeman to bring him to lunch on Friday to eat the pudding. Mrs. Freeman is extremely charming and sympathetic in every way, but I don't wish to approach her personally about interesting her in our plan. I think it will be far better for you, as a business man, to talk things over with Mr. Freeman, supposing that you get on well together. I am more strongly opposed than ever to doing business with women; the advantage is too unfair on both sides.
Love is the law, love under will.
Yours fraternally,
666.
