Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Montgomery Evans
HOTEL MÉTROPOLE BRUXELLES
May 5. [1929]
Beloved M.E.2!
I suppose you wrote the first part of that p[ost] c[ard] but I've answered E.H. Chase care Bankers' Trust.
I'm trout-fishing [illegible] in a divine valley. Cooking A.1. and excellent Wines. Waiting for certain documents and for the result of certain investigations. The "being fully armed, he is similar to the goddess" as Zoroaster says.
Hope to get married in Brussels sometime in June: hope you and Elizabeth will be on hand to lend a picturesque touch! Meanwhile, the Forest of Arden is living up to the Shakespeare standard.
I do wish you'd come here for a day or two. This is the one great opportunity of my life. And your energy and imagination are just what I need to make good all round. I must have a man in Paris on whom I can rely.
We can make quite a fair bit directly from libel actions. I really can't think what has come over the French press; they write the most absurd rubbish à la Hearst. And in France one can get after them good and plenty.
My address till end of May is
Chez M. Schlosser Cugnon-Mortehan au Semois Belgique
It's about 30 km from Sedan.
I could send the car to meet you at Sedan if I got a wire giving the exact hour of the arrival of your Excellency's special Private Car.
Wake up! this is going to be the most gorgeous joke ever played on this benighted planet.
Love!
Yours
A.C.
See "Detective"—e poi mori!
