Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Grady McMurtry
Aston Clinton Bucks
May 23 [1944]
Dear H.A. [Hymenaeus Alpha]
93
Yours of May 20. I wrote you yesterday, and now you have changed your A.P.O.
The important item—in case you didn’t get it—is to send the £20 to Aylesbury P.O. as I don’t go to London at all any more, unless some dread emergency arises.
Many thanks for the criticisms: most useful. At present I cannot determine the final form of the book [Magick Without Tears]; it might, e.g., be a mixture of several methods. Perhaps it might even be worked into a semi fictional form; a account of the training of a “made-up” pupil, with the essays, letters &c worked in as milestones or turning-points in his progress.
I may want one or two of the letters back, when you send me the list of what you have.
No more now: I’m dog tired: the delayed-action bomb has been too much for me. Too long & too painful to write details.
So, for the moment, adios!
93 93/93
Yours
A.C.
P.S. M.A. Sutherland [Maurice A. Sutherland] 10 NORMAND Mansions W.14. wants his Lasker [chess book] back. Please send it to him direct. So sorry I haven’t been able to get you one yet.
Lieut Grady L. McMurtry 1475th Ord. MM Co (AVN) (Q) A.P.O. 149 U.S. Army
