Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Louis Umfreville Wilkinson

 

     

 

Gordon Chambers,

20 Jermyn Street,

S.W.1.

 

 

Feb 22. 1939

 

 

Dear Louis,

 

93.

I have retried, without the loss of a man or a son.

     

Leaving John [John Jameson] and Peggy [Peggy Wetton] to fight it out between themselves. Odds on Peggy!

     

She is merely impossible; he is a quite insufferable young blackguard.

     

I want very much to go into it all with you as soon as possible; for the upshot might well be the American journey.

     

You can get me here—early A.M. best time—till Feb 28, when I move to 24 Chester Terrace S.W.1. Telephone SLOTREY.

     

You have shaken my confidence with your Marygold: was it just a week-end "Adultery with Home Comforts" as dear [illegible] used to say?

 

93     93/93.

 

Yours ever

 

Aleister.
