Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Wilfred Talbot Smith

93.
Got your long letter at last. Why couldn't you write me when the troubles arose? There must be something wrong of you to alienate people like Jacoby [Oliver Jacobi]. I get a sort of impression that you interfere too much in the affairs of other people. I feel, too, that Vagina's [Regina Kahl] "personality" would send me screaming to the nearest aerodrome. Why not literally "loud and adulterous?" Aimee MacPherson has made a career on it. Bit of the 'smug troglodyte' in you too, perhaps?
I've got a cold and a bad temper this morning: so excuse critical tone of this letter. Don't think I fail to appreciate your real virtues, great loyalty, will-power, courage and perseverance.
