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
