[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.]
