"LAUGHING TORSO"

 

My dear Kyllmann,

 

I am making enquiry of Nina Hamnett's solicitors as to whether we can co-operate about putting an end to the action and so free the book for publication and I will write you in a few days.

     

Crowley changes from day to day. Betty May's report this morning was that he had picked up a widow and her daughter and was staying with them in their flat off Park Lane somewhere.

 

Yours very sincerely,

 

Charles S. J. Harper
