Correspondence from Constable & Co., Ltd. [Publishers of Laughing Torso] to E.H. Thompson
[Correspondence concerning Constable & Co.'s preparation for the appeal to the libel suit brought by Aleister Crowley against Nina Hamnett and the publication of her book Laughing Torso.]
Private
May 9th 1934
Dear Sir,
We received your letter of May 8th and would venture to suggest that you would be wise not to endeavour to trade in copies of the first of the two books [White Stains] by Aleister Crowley about which you wrote us. In any event the book is an extremely rare one, and we are not in a position to say whether a copy can be had.
With regard to the second book these Confessions [The Confessions of Aleister Crowley] were remaindered not long ago and copies were available at Foyles and other places.
We return you the letter addressed to Mr. Crowley.
We are, Sir,
Yours faithfully,
E. H. Thompson Esq., The Cross Chichester
