Correspondence from Wilfred Talbot Smith to Aleister Crowley

Care Frater

So glad to get your letter; it took 2 months to come.
We made 4 Minervals and First [degrees] three weeks ago, and expect to make two more of the same this week-end. I think I have at long last a really excellent man, John Parsons [Jack Parsons]. And starting next Tuesday he begins a course of talks with a view to enlarging our scope. He has an excellent mind and much better intellect than myself—yes, I know it would not necessarily have to be very good to be better than mine. . . .
J.P. [Jack Parsons] is going to be valuable. I feel sure we are going to move ahead in spite of Max Schneider's continued efforts to discredit me. He still exhibits your letters as proof I am a No. 1 Son of a B[itch]. I thought you were going to write to tell him to clamp down. . . .
Love from all here.
Love is the law, love under will.
Fraternally
