Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Karl Germer

 

 

 

9th May. 1930.

 

 

Herr Karl Germer,

Lietzensee Ufer 9,

Berlin-Charlottenburg.

 

 

Dear Karl:

 

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

 

This is to supplement my letter sent by registered post yesterday. After sending it I again saw Thynne [Major Robert Thynne], to ask him to write to you confirming the arrangement. He then showed me your letter to him.

     

I have not yet started a separate account for the Aquila, so you had better arrange with New York to cable me £500 to the credit of my account Aleister Crowley at the Piccadilly branch of Barclay's Bank. It would certainly be desirable if the money can arrive before June 1st, as I am not at all certain on what exact date I can get in the other subscriptions. I shall know better after Sunday when I am lunching with the man whom I think will be the most important of all.

     

I spoke to Yorke [Gerald Yorke] yesterday on the matter of Cora [Cora Germer], but he hoped it would be convenient to you if he postponed doing anything until he returned from the Yeomanry Training Camp, for which he is leaving tomorrow morning. He should return anyhow on 26th May. He is in any case writing you about the matter.

     

I have been expecting to hear from you detailing about the arrival of Krummheler [Arnold Krum-Heller]. It is a great nuisance, Yorke being out of Town, but he says he can come up for Sunday 18th May to meet Krummheler specially.

     

Alternatively perhaps I could take him down to see Yorke in camp. Anyhow I shall be very glad to know immediately if you have made any definite arrangement.

     

It is always safe to telephone me up to say 11 o'clock.

     

I am sorry this letter has to go by ordinary mail, but they say that the Air Mail has been suspended for two days because of high winds in the North Sea.

 

Love is the love, love under will.

 

Best of love to yourself, and Cora.
