Dear Sirs:

 

Several months ago, when the Press published an announcement that Aleister Crowley was suing you for libel I sent you, at your request, a copy of an article in the "Sunday Express", and which, as the case is now over, you might let me have back.

 

Yours respectively,

 

Joseph Bannister
