Correspondence from Otto Kyllmann [Constable & Co. Publishers of Laughing Torso] to Charles Harper [Waterhouse & Co., Solicitors for Constable & Co.]
[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.]
August 13, 1934
My dear Harper,
Thank you for your letter of 9th August.
Chit 1: I do hope that if Crowley ever pays we shall get the £136.1.0 from O'Connor. I have much appreciated your kind suggestion that you will not charge us more than the £327.8.9 if Crowley does not pay.
My own view is that if and when the time comes for pressing Crowley for payment, he will cheerfully agree to be made a bankrupt.
Sincerely yours,
Charles J.S. Harper Esq., Messrs. Waterhouse & Co. 10/12 Bishopsgate E.C.2.
