Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Gerald Hamilton

 

     

 

 

93 [93 Jermyn St]

 

 

Sept 4 [1943]

 

 

Dear Gerald,

 

93.

 

What with the grippe upstairs and the grippe-sou downstairs, there is no refuge save in Thee, not any succour.

     

(That last does not refer to me, I hope, though 15 months have certainly elapsed.)

     

Nay, friend, thou hast done nobly by that lousiest of Kikes in Albermale St; and you did lead me to believe that I had a priority.

     

I wouldn't worry you, least of all by letter, were the need any less dire—and when you honour this lowly abode with the radiance of your presence, what can I do but bask in your charm?

 

93     93/93.

 

Toujours à toi,

 

Aleister.
