Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Charles Stansfeld Jones
c/o Dennes & Co. 22 Chancery Lane, W.C.2.
July 30th, 1936.
Care Frater 777,
93.
I was very glad to have received your dossier, and covering letter of July 9th. I must say I find it very difficult to follow your Qabalah. I am so rushed with work that I cannot find time for serious study. There is also something in my brain which reacts unfavourable to complex Qabalah, and I don't think it's entirely are and infirmity. So I must just take your word for it.
Your note about the 'Morning Post' was, I thought entangled in these qabalistic references, and anyway it seemed to me impossible to search it daily for some unknown mystery. If you simply sent me a copy of your letter, I might have done something about it, especially as the literary editor of the 'Morning Post' is a personal friend of mine! I am very glad, however, to receive, even at this date, a copy of your letter; and what I should like is a copy of AUD's [Raoul Loveday] article together with any correspondence on the subject of the period immediately before his death, and an affidavit executed by yourself to the effect that you received the attached documents at that time.
With the new conditions it should be possible to put the whole matter of Cefalu in its proper light.
As to the latter part of your letter, I think it has been definitely part of the plan of the Gods to get my principles associates away from my personal influence for longer or shorter periods. The present rally becomes all the more significant and important, and we shall have independent workers and not a lot of yes-men.
Unfortunately, Frater Progradior [Frank Bennett] in Australia got tired of his instrument; and is now, we hope, reincarnated somewhere more pleasant than Australia. I think that California is going to be the scene of a world-conference about Christmas. As soon as I arrive there, I shall try to make arrangements for something of the sort.
93 93/93.
Yours fraternally,
666.
P.S. The printer will be glad of money, low fellow. The smallest contributions etc.
