Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Gerald Yorke

W. 1.

 

 

July 30 [1941]

 

 

Dear Gerald,

 

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.

 

Thanks for cheque—also for "contribution" in winter.

     

But I was not 'asking for money': I was offering goods for sale as any Metropolitan Magistrate would tell you, that is quite a different matter.

     

. . . mind has been poisoned by suspicion. It was simply that I had to take a quick decision; if you said 'yes'. O.K.: if you said no, O.K. Also I wondered if you had gone [?] my letter. I should not have mentioned finance at all—I have been careful to avoid doing so since you temporarily renounced the G[reat] W[ork]—but you specifically asked me to do so.

     

I have to come to Cambridge on another matter, [illegible] Friday or early next week. We might lunch together. I have much news.

 

Love is the law, love under will.

 

Fraternally as ever,

 

Aleister.
