Correspondence from Wilfred Talbot Smith to Aleister Crowley

Glad to hear from you again, but sorry to have to transmit the enclosure to Jones [Charles Stansfeld Jones]. . . .
We missed one Sunday on the Mass [Gnostic Mass], Jane [Jane Wolfe] too ill and I could not get another deacon. But somehow it is all right, and we have started off on a new lap with a new point of view—less religious, as commonly interpreted, and more of a vital celebration.
. . . You know every one is scared of us and fed up with the old but afraid of the new. Max [Max Schneider] effectively warned every one of the old bunch away—it even got around that we had given up the house and moved. But we are steaming up a new bunch. On the whole your drastic operation was good, and merely the cutting off of dead flesh. . . .
