Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Gerald Yorke
55 Avenue de Suffren, Paris, VII
March 7th, 1929
Care Frater:
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
So glad to get your letter of the 5th. I shall be very glad to see this Paris man. The plan of working is exactly the right one, and the one I always contemplated.
I quite understand and agree with what you say about the trust, though I cannot see this in the agreement. ("Principal", by the way, in this connection, is spelled "pal" and not "ple.")
The American bloke was here yesterday to lunch, and stayed till nearly dinner time, which exhausted me very much, and I am back in bed again. (It is, by the way, no economy for everyone to be sick. We have to keep Marie [Maria de Miramar] on the job all the time, and the expenses seem much higher than before.) I hope to see the American, whose name is Charles F. Hart, either today or tomorrow. He is very sympathetic, personally, for private reasons which it is unnecessary to discuss, and I think it quite possible to get him to invest. He is a regular business man and evidently makes a good thing of it. Certainly just the type of man we want. I will let you know as soon as I have seen him again.
In the meanwhile we must carry on somehow until we have heard from the Hearst man in Paris, and Holroyd Reece.
I don't want to ask you for any extra money. But it may be that I shall have to hold up certain payments for a few days. It is a perfect nuisance being in bed all the time, with all the energy drained out of me. The other two seem a little better to-day, and I am hoping to be all right to-morrow.
No news from Lecram [Press]. I am going to ring them up tomorrow morning—today, being Mî-carême, of course nobody is at business.
Love is the law, love under will.
Yours fraternally,
666.
