Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Gerald Yorke
10 Hanover Square W.1.
Nov 1. [1941]
Dear Gerald,
93.
I thought I would wait until my birthday was well over before I answered your charming letter, but I thank you now.
I have been varying my pleasure by collecting an abscess in the middle of my thigh. An excellent specimen, I assure you. After a week in bed it began to threaten so I got in a doctor, and it seems to be mending. But I have at least another 10 days on my back. The rest is doing me good in other ways.
I hope everything is going well with you. You said something about leave in November, so if you're in town you might look me up.
The way people are talking about the war is not at all reassuring. But probably this is the sophisticated Londoner; there must be some loyalty and decency—to say nothing of common-sense—left somewhere.
93 93/93.
Yours,
Aleister.
