Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Isidore Kerman
140 Piccadilly W.1.
Nov 8. [1942]
Dear Kerman,
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
I've come to life again: here is your £5.
Lady Harris [Frieda Harris] has had a slight relapse into something like sanity.
I answered the enclosed letter, arranging for the brunch on Wednesday, but not referring to her impudent "persuasion"—it read to me like a snare for the feet of the unwary!
She is really a most-woeful muddlehead.
Witness:—
She went to the Chiswick Press (the foremost printers in London for a century or so: C.T. Jacobi is a landmark in the History of the Art of Printing) to find out if it was a reputable firm!!
They advised me of her visit; she wanted also to see if their process which I was going to use was good enough for Her Ladyship. She had already seen examples!
You will observe that she has deigned to approve. But then she calls it "the colour-process" which it isn't! It is black and white: COLLOTYPE.
How can one tell what she means? I should like to see you this week after the lunch on Wednesday. Will Thursday or Friday morning suit you?
Love is the law, love under will.
Yours sincerely,
for the O.T.O.
Aleister Crowley.
