Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Montgomery Evans
chez M. Schlosser, Cugnon-Mortehan, Semois. Belgique
May 15th, 1929.
Dear Montgomery Evans:
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
I have not yet an answer to the letter I wrote you last week. My address is as above. Please don't confuse this with Marbehan. I wish you would manage to take off a few days and look me up. The opportunity of pulling something big across is too good to lose.
I saw Claude Farrère about this stupid business and he promised to do various things. But I also wrote to him just before leaving Paris and have never had an answer. You will of course not have been able to get any idea of the facts from any newspaper account. They are all full of absurd errors, but this one thing appears to me absolutely certain: that whatever the trouble really is the enemy will not admit the nature of it, provided that it exists even in any form. The innumerable allegations seem to be invented as a mere smokescreen. You will notice that no action has been taken to which any defense is possible. In particular, there was no expulsion, for which they would have to give a reason, but only a Refus de Sejour, against which there is no appeal. All that we have got to do is to make sufficient stink to show them that we are not afraid of inquiry, as we shall find them making for the tall timber.
I do wish you would see Farrère about this and urge on him to arrange for the publication of a letter on the lines of Zola's celebrated "J'accuse."
My plans are at present to arrange to return to Paris in about six weeks from now. I have to wait for one thing; for certain documents from America and then I suppose it may take a few days to obtain the required permission.
All this is so balled up that it would really be over much better if you could look in here and talk the matter over face to face.
Love is the law, love under will.
Yours ever
A.C.
AC/ir [Israel Regardie]
