Correspondence from Charles Harper [Waterhouse & Co., Solicitors for Constable & Co.] to Michael Sadleir [Constable & Co., Publishers of Laughing Torso]

CROWLEY
Dear Sadleir,
I spent this afternoon in B.M. [British Museum] "taking notes" and then lost them all—four hours work lost. There is a copy of "Why Jesus Wept" in the open catalogue (It is in ф at Bodley) There are also other Early items under Crowley which might be worth looking at—I jotted down the Press Marks for you but like an ass lost the lost. B.M. closed this evening for a week.
Yours,
Charles S.J. Harper
