Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Guy Knowles

 

 

 

Ivy Cottage,

Knockholt, Kent.

 

 

November 19th, 1929.

 

 

Dear G[uy] K[nowles].

 

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.

 

Nothing could have refreshed me more than this example of your customary confusion of thought. I will explain some day when you have seven years to spare.

     

I shall have to stay in town all Thursday and probably Friday, so perhaps you could find some time on one of those auspicious days.

     

The block-maker [for The Confessions of Aleister Crowley] has eagerly joined the Times controversy about whether a picture should or should not be hung upside down. He has also reversed some of them fourth dimensionally. But I think everything will be right by Wednesday, and the book out next week, when you can have back your treasures.

     

Volume 1 [of The Confessions of Aleister Crowley] is not very interesting. The villain of the piece only appears in Volume 2.

 

Love is the law, love under will.

 

Yours ever,

 

P.S. Norman Collie turned up at the Mandrake Press the other day. I can't find his number in the telephone directory. I don't know if you know his address. I wanted to get into the next dinner of the Survivor's Club.
