Gentlemen,
We write to acknowledge with thanks the safe receipt of the parcel of books by Aleister Crowley which you returned to us a couple of days ago. We note that another firm of solicitors may wish to purchase the copy of WHITE STAINS for what it cost us viz. £11.
We shall be willing to take this price and will hold the book here pending your information.
Yours faithfully,
Messrs Waterhouse & Co., 10 and 12 Bishopsgate E.C.4. For the attention of Mr. Jones
