Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Herbert Gorman
On Board The Royal Mail Steam Packet Company's Alcantara
Address: c/o Thos Cook & Son 52-54 Rue Aurea Lisbon.
Aug 30. [1930] In the sea-fog
Dear Herbert
It just had to be!
The Monster [Hanni Jaeger] and I have started to go round the world on £14.10.10 1/2. The question has arisen as to whether we shall not need some more between Lisbon, Madera, Rio, Monte Video, Buenos Aries, Valparaiso, the Galapagos Is (where the turtles come from), the South Seas, China, India, etc. etc. etc. and London.
Style [of Crowley's proposed travelogue]: as Confessions [The Confessions of Aleister Crowley], but more cynical and romantic.
So cable me a contract from one of your millionaire papers to write it all up.
The Monster can do sketches, and says she will.
We can put in strict sections if requested.
Sorry not to have seen you before we started, but we decided rather suddenly.
Love to the fair Jean!
Yours
Aleister Crowley
With Love
Anu [Hanni Jaeger]
