Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Edward Noel Fitzgerald
Aston Clinton.
May 17 1944.
Dear Noel,
93.
Delighted to hear from you and that you are well. How right you are to be enthusiastic! The sample copy [of The Book of Thoth] is a dream. Much the best production of my life—and after all these years of war. Who will doubt Magick? Sorry I missed you in London; I came here [the Bell Inn] April 8—could not work in Jermyn St, which had been turned into a main thoroughfare by the bomb that hit Duke St—King St—Pall Mall—health much better and work going strong.
Your copy [of The Book of Thoth] should be ready by the end of June at latest. We shall issue a pack [of Tarot cards] when we have £1000 or so to do it with! Varied my pleasure this week-end by a go of pleurisy—sudden frost and vile N. wind—better today, but a bit tired and weak. So no more now. Why not drop in for lunch one fine day? Aylesbury is the station; bus drops you at the door.
93 93/93.
F∴[raternal]ly,
666.
