Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Karl Germer

 

 

 

Ivy Cottage,

Knockholt, Kent.

 

 

Dec. 2nd, 1929.

 

 

Dear Karl:

 

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

 

Yorke [Gerald Yorke] gave us a lovely party last Wednesday. We had there, F.D. Yates, England's only chess master. I am enclosing the games with annotations.

     

I don't think I did so badly, as I started with every disadvantage: natural funk, complete nervous prostration over that New York business, and a perfectly miserable board.

     

I hope you and Cora [Cora Eaton] are well and enjoying life in Berlin.

     

Here December looks like breaking the November records for rain. Marie [Maria de Miramar] is suffering a great deal from not having any diversions. She is painting very hard, but when she gets tired of that she has nothing whatever to do and she does not seem to want to study English systematically. But she is much better physically.

     

Love is the law, love under will.

 

Yours fraternally,

 

P.S. I wish you would write to her now and then. M [Maria de Miramar] would clear up her loneliness. Picture for Cora has been finished by Marie and will be sent when dry.
