Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Karl Germer & Sascha Germer
S.W.1.
Jan 9. [1944]
Dear Karl and Sascha,
This is not about anything in particular, save to thank you for everything. Especially the last communication, which was exactly what was wanted.
No sign of any shirts yet.
Last night McM. [Grady McMurtry] came up from the country, and I introduced him to Mrs. Sutherland [Cordelia Sutherland]. They got on very well together, and I hope will be able to work out a detailed plan of campaign which will put us all where we belong.
She is starting in this afternoon to help me in my personal work, typing some of the letters in the series of 50 "Answers to Questions" [Magick Without Tears] that I am doing. They cover a whole lot of ground that the official publications fail to touch. What is wanted more than anything is a "First Steps" book; that, and a few pamphlets on the "burning questions of the hour": labour, education, discipline, free trade, agriculture, and so on.
I shall work her little by little into "looking after me" in various ways: already I feel some relief from the eternal strain.
Very sorry to hear from your V-chit to McM. that business has not yet turned the corner. (That £200 loan proposal was not meant for U.S.A. or for members of the Order. One would not offer them 27% which is (roughly) what it works out at.)
The Chiswick Press is still
hanging fire badly, but at the worst I hope that you will
have your "for reproduction by photography" copy, and the
sets of blocks by
I shall send a regular copy by air mail as soon as I get one; but the blocks would make the other too heavy.
I have been damnably overworked; but as I said above, I feel that the burden will get lighter as the year advances. May it bring you both every kind of increase in happiness and in prosperity!
I send you love—enough to bask in!
Yours,
Aleister.
