Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Isidore Kerman

Dear Kerman,

 

Just out of the 'Ome.

     

I am extremely vexed to hear that Karl Germer called on you surreptitiously and told you the most abominable lies.

     

I had kicked him with really violent abuse out of my rooms for the distinct kind of disloyalty, and he was deported without further speech with me.

     

If you had told me at the time that he called on you, I would have thrashed the cur. As I told you long ago, he is a "borderland" case; only Alfred Adler and I have kept him out of the asylum these last 20 years. I had similar trouble thrice before; and it is my fault insofar as I did not drop him the first time.

     

Will you ask Miss Telephone to ring me here so that I can see you late Monday or any time Tuesday?

     

Here's the best to you!

 

Yours sincerely,

 

Aleister Crowley.
