Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Captain Patterson

Dear Pat:

 

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

 

Your silence is very disquieting. I do hope it does not mean that your illness, as reported by Germer [Karl Germer] some time back, is still on the warpath. I am very busy here, but have urgent need to run over to Paris for a few days quite soon to settle up one or two small matters, and that swine Denizot takes no notice of my letters. I do wish you would find a way to twist his tail damned hard and take the bloody curl out of it.

     

Have you received the three pictures from Pitt & Scott, and is there any hope of my getting them this side of the millennium? I expect to be having quite an important exhibition [of his paintings] in March or April, but whether it will be opened by Her Majesty the Queen in person depends upon a variety of circumstances.

     

Give my love to Lina, and remember me to all the brethren.

     

I do hope you are well in health.

 

Love is the law, love under will.

 

Yours ever.

 

 

AC / anl [Israel Regardie]
