Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Chris Kraemer
[EXTRACT]
[27 October 1938]
[In Crowley's view the prose of R. Swinburne Clymer was] filled with nothing whatever but hatred. It is to me an extraordinary circumstance that a man should be so eaten up with passion that he can put hours of time and quite large sums of money into such a monument of abuse. Even in the Middle Ages I don't recall any controversy so prodigiously documented. An interesting point is that Clymer seems to have acquired almost magical powers through his fervour. He has obtained possession of documents which even I, who have had my nose to the business since 1912, have never heard.
