Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Gerald Yorke
Ivy Cottage, Knockholt, Kent
January 13th, 1930.
Care Frater:
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
Stephensen [P.R. Stephensen] got a letter this morning from Major Thynne [Major Robert Thynne], who may, I think, be confidently referred, as 777 would have it, to Jupiter. His letter is very interesting psycho-analytically. No date or address, all in long hand, on both sides of the paper except in the case of the penultimate page, which was blank. It was supposed to be a business letter asking precise questions, but his questions seem to me rather vague, and to a great extent unanswerable. He gets carried away by his enthusiasm for the demon Crowley. I don't think he is exactly the person we have been looking for. I have made a programme of the things, including MAGICK [Magick in Theory and Practice], which I have ready, and we must try to get all this settled by contract at one time.
There is talk of making a limited company and giving a job as director—very different to those greaser railroad directorships, of course.
Hope to see you down here tomorrow night with a firm determination not to leave before 10:15 in the morning as I want to go up and have lunch with our Jovian deus ex machina.
Love is the law, love under will.
Yours fraternally
666.
P.S. Cope [Stuart R. Cope] will be in town on Saturday, and apparently it is his only day free. I have asked him to lunch, calling for me at Oddineno's at 12 o'clock.
