Sir Aleister Crowley,

55, Avenue de Suffren, Paris.

 

 

24th December 1928

 

 

Dear Sir,

 

I thank you for your two letters received today. As I have already telephoned you, it is impossible for me to get away from the office this afternoon. I have too much to do in getting work finished up before tomorrow's holiday.

     

With regard to your business letter, I think we can meet your wishes to some extent although I do not see how you can make the definite statement:— "The total cost has been deposited etc" if it has only been partly arranged. Some other wording might be found, however, which would meet the case.

     

It would be impossible, so far as our business arrangements are concerned, to make use of such phrases as "The Spring Equinox" and "The Summer Solstice" at all events they could not figure on a Commercial Draft.

     

As these dates are, I suppose, March 20 and June 21, they must be definitely stated as such. As you are aware, the Astronomical Calendar is not the Legal Calendar.

     

In accordance with out arrangement over the telephone this afternoon, I will come down to see you at your apartment at or later, 6 p.m. Wednesday. Perhaps I might not be able to get away from here before 6 o'clock.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Stuart R. Cope
