LAUGHING TORSO CASE
Dear Harper,
I have just been informed that when he was at Cambridge Crowley issued a small work entitled GILLE DE RAIS: A Lecture on Bluebeard [The Banned Lecture], which was banned, (and I suppose so far as possible destroyed) by the University authorities. I don't know that this is very important, but it might as well be added to the information in your dossier.
Yours sincerely,
C.J.S. Harper Esq., Messrs Waterhouse & Co., 10-12 Bishopsgate, E.C.2.
