Correspondence from Mrs. J. Fothergill to Constable & Co., Ltd. [Publishers of Laughing Torso]
[Correspondence concerning Constable & Co.'s preparation for the libel suit brought by Aleister Crowley against Nina Hamnett and the publication of her book Laughing Torso.]
69 Sandown Lane Wavertree Liverpool
31/10/32
Dear Sirs:
Having just read a copy of "The Laughing Torso," I really would like to know what all the recent fuss was about, and whether such a reputable and large firm as yours, together with a number of readers who dislike their literary freedom being attacked, could not do something to protect themselves from a censorship, which lately appears to have neither rhyme nor reason. I certainly sympathise with any firm like yourselves, who have to cope with, (what appears to be) such un warrantable interference.
Yours faithfully
(Mrs.) J. Fothergill
Messrs, Constable & Company, Ltd. London.
