Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Cordelia Sutherland
The Bell [The Bell Inn]

(really late
[22 August 1944]
Dear Cordie,
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
You see—I forgot two quite important things when I wrote this afternoon.
(1) Here’s the design for the suit.
Is this practical?
If so, would a posh tailor send a man here for measurements & one fitting; or could he save trouble of measuring by having my best-suit to sniff?
(2) I was in Aylesbury this A.M. & that Bucks Bullion Bloke offered me a gold case. I said: I’ll have to ask somebody (The Yi King of course.) On way back I said to myself, said I “I’ll offer to buy the case if he’ll buy a Book.” Haggling, sort of isn’t it?
Then I asked the Yi & got [I Ching Hexagram] XXI Shin Ho. Line 5 says: The fifth line, divided, shows me gnawing at dried flesh, and finding the yellow gold.
It isn’t a fluke, you know!
Love is the law, lover under will.
Till Thursday.
Yours,
Aleister
