Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Edward Noel Fitzgerald
March 12 '43 e.v.
Dear Noel.
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
Yours of the 4th. to hand. I am glad you liked the portrait. I prefer the other one, and there is a chance of your seeing it if you get the Equinox publication "The City of God". I am not quite sure of the price—I think 5/-. What I said was a First Folio Shakespeare. I had a bad time all last week; the wind caught a nerve, and gave me the most frightful toothache. Better now. Sorry you were in equal distress. About the letter. I expected no other reply. I remember the first thing I asked you to do for me, about ten years ago, I think. It was to post a letter from your suburb to Martha Küntzel, and you wouldn't do it in case you lose your job. The true Fitzgerald spirit. You are a great fool not to keep any letters of mine, but I take it you were born so. It is certainly a good hope of yours to "push Jerry right this time". If he realized who was doing the pushing, he would have more sense than to attempt to resist. Put as much of this letter as you like down to face ache.
Love is the law, love under will.
Yours with every good wish,
Aleister.
