Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Karl Germer

 

[EXTRACT]

 

 

 

[18 January 1930]

 

 

. . . he [Major Robert Thynne] sees that I am the one asset of value, and will put all the necessary money into pushing me. He is winding up all his business in Plymouth and coming to London Monday week. So that all I need to do is to pay my bill here, and some £150 we owe at Knockholt, and I go down there and paint quietly till the papers are signed. Then I shall be a director of the new company, and meet all sets of important people (whom the new man, a Major Thynne, knows well) and the whole proposition will go big. They have put 14 books of mine—including Magick [Magick in Theory and Practice], 777, etc. etc.—on the programme already.
