LAUGHING TORSO

 

Dear Sadleir,

 

I enclose copy of a letter I have received from one Guy Boys to-day. The enclosure to it is a closed stamped envelope addressed A. Crowley, Esq., in Boys' handwriting.

     

Do you know who Boys is? Unless you do it seems to me I ought to send the letter back and tell him that I cannot be the medium of any communication. Perhaps you would telephone.

 

Yours sincerely,

 

Charles S.J. Harper
