"LAUGHING TORSO"
Dear Sadleir,
We have received a number of books and documents and I give you a list of them and hope to be able to return them all very soon because I do not think Crowley's litigation can go on for long. They are—
Crowley's Autobiography [The Confessions of Aleister Crowley] — Vol I Crowley's Collected Works — Vols I, II, & III Crowley's Book of Lies Crowley's The Winged Beetle Crowley's The Soul of Osiris The Star [The Star in the West] by Captain Fuller [J.F.C. Fuller] Contract of 10 October 1931—Hamnett and Constable and documents attached. Sunday Express of November 26, 1922.
Your sincerely,
Charles S.J. Harper
Michael Sadleir, Esq., 10 & 12 Orange Street, Leicester Square, W.C.2.
