Correspondence from Michael Sadleir [Constable & Co., Publishers of Laughing Torso] to Charles Harper [Waterhouse & Co., Solicitors for Constable & Co.]
[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.]
November 3rd, 1932.
Dear Harper,
Thank you for your letter of yesterday with its account of Mr. Darby's call. It is interesting about GILLE DE RAIS [The Banned Lecture] which is obviously no good to us. It looks as though the only item of this sort which might be useful to us if we could get hold of a copy is WHITE STAIINS. That he refers to it in his autobiography [The Confessions of Aleister Crowley] and leaves no doubt as to its nature.
Yours sincerely,
C.J.S. Harper Esq., Messrs Waterhouse & Co., 10-12 Bishopsgate, E.C.2.
