Correspondence from Wilfred Talbot Smith to Aleister Crowley
29 Aug 40
. . . I am still trying to swing the land deal; one of the reasons for my trip to the hills. Regina [Regina Kahl] went with me. She is not working now, hence the shortage. She has turned a corner, so to speak. Dare I say she passed the Abyss, and got spanked for being sentimental or told it is merely the ravings of a well served Yoni? Well what ever, it has made a difference to her, for the others, and released me. . . .
Frederic Mellinger is now an adherent, a German Jew, and very good within a certain range. He is giving a class on Astrology here every Wednesday. Small attendance however as was also the case when I had a class on the Kabalah and study of the Book of the Law a few weeks back. I'm going to hold classes again when the hot weather is over. . . .
We are inactive in other respects, except for the Mass [Gnostic Mass]. Leffingwell [Roy Leffingwell] and family flew the coop. Seeds of dissension earlier sown born fruit, and he has since moved away out to the country. Two people he introduced are faithful, however. I still hope some day I shall be able to write a letter of something actual that will please. I am tired of just telling prospects that do not mature.
With love.
Fraternally
