Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Frieda Harris
[EXTRACT]
Barton Brow Great Hill Road Torquay
March 29 [1941]
Dear Frieda
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
Braced, with respectful affection for your brassière, I write to thank you.
Also, to report progress.
I evacuated the Gardens; don't let the good fellows from Dunkirk know about it; we don't want them to feel that they are amateurs!
I am standing tiptoe upon a little hill and expecting nothing particular to happen. This place is another Cezanne and water; the last two days practically all water . . .
[Crowley goes on to suggest his current home at Barton, Torquay would make a good foundation for a new Abbey. He also mentions a mathematics book by Lancelot Hogben which he despises and recommends Bertrand Russell instead.]
