Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Gerald Yorke
Sybelstrasse 68. [Berlin]
Thursday. [Undated: circa June 1932]
Dear Yorke.
Bill [Bertha Busch] tells me that Dennes has £20 available.
Please have him cable me this amount instantly on receipt of this letter.
The rent must be paid for both May and June. It really needs £33 approximately. If you can raise that, so much the better.
I have practically no cash left, having paid gas, electricity, etc.
Edward Alexander Crowley.

The idea of my coming over to England is grotesque. John is never sober [illegible] he to talk business, and Knowles [Guy Knowles] refined points [illegible]. You yourself wrote that he described me as a "fiend"—though God knows why. The bastard stole my ibex-horus.
I'm not expecting "others to ask their friends to help me". I'm expecting you to help the G∴W∴ [Great Work] according to your repeated promises and oaths.

P.S. I never have one single word from you about the real business which can bring in money from outside—money earned, not borrowed.
What of Cope [Stuart R. Cope]? Sullivan? Publisher for projected book on Berlin? Life of Frank Harris? etc etc. Really, it's getting past my patience.
