Correspondence from Charles Cammell to Aleister Crowley

 

 

 

 

[14 August 1941]

 

 

Dear Crowley,

 

I am replying to your letter to my wife. Your claim 'to repudiate the whole transaction' of a suit made for you three years ago would, of course, be ruled out by any court of law. We do not, however, wish to have any further discussion about the matter, and you may therefore deduct the £7, which you 'claim', from the bill. Please let us have the balance by return as we are urgently in need of it. We understand from your letters that you have received the money in hand. At the same time will you be so kind as to let me have the £1 which I lent you to help you on your journey to Torquay the day you left Richmond?

     

I need hardly say that I greatly resent the tone of your letter to my wife, and the remarks concerning her which you have made to me.

 

Yours sincerely

 

C. R. Cammell

 

Considering the friendly relations that have existed between us for so long, and the interest I have always taken in your literary work, I am completely at a loss to understand your present attitude. C.R.C.
