Correspondence from Norman Douglas to Aleister Crowley

 

[EXTRACT]

 

 

[22 August 1944]

 

 

My dear Aleister Crowley

 

To Hell with all Laws.

 

I was delighted to see your elligant [sic] handwriting again, after all these years. The last time we met, I think, was in Paris when you were staying at Foyots, about half a century ago, and when I asked you to find me a Welsh draper's widow, rich and suffering from some incurable disease, for marriage purposes, and you agreed on condition that we went fifty-fifty on the proceeds . . .
