Correspondence from Frieda Harris to Aleister Crowley
[Undated: circa Summer 1940]
Dear Aleister,
I have been trying to sort the various typed papers I have received from you on the Tarot.
The Trumps descriptions are complete. The 9 Wands are separately described. The 9 Cups are separately described. The 9 Swords are separately described. The 9 Disks are separately described. The 4 Sword Court Cards are separately described. The 4 Wand Court Cards not The 4 Water Court Cards not The 4 Pantacles Court Cards not The 4 Aces are separately described.
Probably you have the missing ones but if not ought we not to have a complete list?
I think I sent you the original notes you made on the Fool asking you if you could incorporate some of it in the new notes which I have. If you don't agree, anyhow let me have the original as I like it best.
The Prince of Disks is a devil. I've been a whole week on him and he is engendering a nervous breakdown in me coupled with starvation as he gives me no time to eat. He is a bastard.
However I hope I have caught him today. He swells and swells and I can't get him in the picture with all the farm produce and bulls you suggest. Re the curtains–I have had some promised to me, have a bit more patience I am on their track.
I like Sullivan better than the American Bum. Did you write the latter? He is quite a nice person, but rather lopsided and has only one means of approach and so do his chums. Pen won't write so I can't think. I do hope you are better.
F. H.
