Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Jane Wolfe

 

     

 

[on the stationary of The Imperial Hotel, Russell Square, London, W.C.1.]

 

 

[Undated: 3 December 1936]

 

 

Dear 516,

 

93.

 

No, I have not come down to this—yet![1] I'm passing by.

     

Blast Wilfred [Wilfred Talbot Smith]! Why has he not written me a word during the last 7 months? Or sent along any contributions? It has meant the severest privations, and a complete block in the Work at the exact time when a little extra might have turned the wheel altogether.

     

I am really very annoyed. The discourtesy of not writing in explanation, not answering my letters, not even acknowledging the Word [of the Equinox] is infuriating. In fact, I actually am infuriated.

     

Why the hell don't you make a going [illegible] with all these talks of yours?

     

What is the use of any one of you? I had built great hopes upon your efforts, and you did seem to be getting somewhere. And now, what does it all amount to?

 

93     93/93.

 

Fraternally,

 

666.

 

 

1—Refers to the "Imperial Hotel" stationary the letter is written on.
