Correspondence from Bertha Busch to Gerald Yorke
Xmas Eve. [24 December 1931]
Just received your letter—thanks for your good wishes. Hope you got a nice Xmas. I must say you are a cheerful person—about A.C.—I do not want to live if A.C. is no more so you'd better do your utmost to keep us both alive. I have to pull that film business off and several other things—I am only happy with A.C. around me—and I would dread lonelyness. I had too much ? as it is.
[Crowley adds on reverse] I wish you would read my letters carefully. The wound was not dangerous though I lost quarts of blood; but it just missed being fatal which is different. I am preparing to get on to the next inc[arnation] simply because unless we get cash in considerable quantity by say Jan 7 at latest I shall have nowhere to sleep, and the exposure would doubtless kill me at once. . . .
Karl [Karl Germer] is in great form now; had ditched Cora [Cora Eaton] with his family and got a charming girl of '31. They are just coming to dinner so I must break off. Bill [Bertha Busch] is always her sweet tender heroic self; it's worth living while she's around. So I struggle on.
