Dear Constable & Co.

 

I have a customer wanting A. Crowley White Stains and Confessions of Aleister Crowley; can you supply these please or failing that, would you kindly send the enclosed letters to Mr. A. Crowley.

     

I must apologise for troubling you, but I was advised [illegible] you as being the only way I would be able to obtain the books.

 

Obediently yours,

 

E.H. Thompson
