Correspondence from Frieda Harris to Aleister Crowley

 

     

 

 

[undated: circa late 1941]

 

 

Do clear up the Tree of Life for me and don't be satyrical or funny. I am all alone and I get worried.

 

 

Now have I assigned the elements correctly or don't they go on the Tree? I can't find them in the book on Magic.

     

I may have Yorke's [Gerald Yorke] No 8 but in that case you may have mine. Do you remember we had 2 copies at Morton [Morton House]. Now I have only 1 and I believe you took the other with you to work from at Charlie's flat. Will you please look. Also Mrs. Ashment has my 777. Which I want here. You will not confuse it with yours as when I lent it to her I red pencilled the things she had to copy for the index. I'd be glad, like Yorke, to have my Crowley Collection Complete.

     

The 10 is coming out very well. I do realize had I had the strength to isolate myself entirely I could have done it better only the eye-sight is a great trial. I could scream with looking and after it is done, shall take a long course of blackout. Are you suffering as much as I am? Really the obstruction to laying this wizard's egg is remarkable. I feel like going to bed and dying. No I'm well and very very vegetarian, as I find I may not guzzle and work but oh! I am weary of work.

     

Had a week's absolute solitary confinement, waiting on myself. That'll learn you Frieda Harris No. 1 prig.
