Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Charles Cammell
Noel Arms Hotel, Chipping Garden.
4 Mar 40
Dear Charles.
I extended my ambitious plan of a holiday to a whole week. Fancy that, Hedda! Moral: a silvery tinkle on Thursday morning would evoke the most amiable coo. We are working very hard on the Tarot [The Book of Thoth]: mostly cleaning up small errors before framing. But the new cards, especially The Universe, are really top-hole. We went to Stratford on Thursday to see those that had been framed. A very good mount and neutral have been found, and the result is really superb. Adds at least 50% value to the unmounted pictures. I will try to bring up one or two to show you. This place is doing me good. A really lovely old inn full of genuine stuff. Very comfortable, excellent food and no hint of Morrison. Yesterday was glorious, sitting about in the sun. Now it's bitter cold again. All the better for work.
Love to Iona.
Yours
Aleister.
