Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Gerald Yorke
55 Avenue de Suffren, Paris, VII
March 9th, 1929
Care Frater:
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
I had hoped that on my use of the sacred word, you would have taken the message seriously, and thrown up everything and come over at once. It is now probably too late to avert the most fulminating disaster.
You would not agree with me that the only plan was to counter-attack vigorously; but if we had done this, the present situation would not have arisen.
You have come to a moment in your life when you have to decide whether you are going to stand for truth and justice whatever it costs you or to keep on good terms with everybody, and let your principles slide.
If Regardie [Israel Regardie] is allowed to go to London, he will explain the whole matter fully to you.
Love is the law, love under will.
Yours fraternally,
666.
P.S. I shall of course have to give every penny I possess to Mme. de Miramar [Maria de Miramar], after paying Regardie's fare. I believe that that the doctor's certificate will assure my staying here for another 2 weeks. The one chance is for you to intervene officially with the [illegible], and [illegible] force a show-down.
Gerald Yorke, Esq., 9, Mansfield Street, London, W. 1.
