Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to W. Dawson Sadler

 

     

 

Bell Inn

Aston Clinton,

Bucks

 

 

Sept 10. [1944]

 

 

Dear and Ill[ustrious],

 

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.

 

A most annoying thing has happened. It is my custom, when I receive letters from people of importance which (a) need my consideration (b) must not be neglected, to address & stamp the envelopes for reply, and leave them on my desk, with the letter to be answered under the flap.

 

Yours arrived the day before I was taken  ill. When I got back to my study yesterday, the little pile—there were 5—had gone.

Crowley then continues on as to why there was no reply to Sadler's communication, and writes, “I can't imagine what happened. Well, it's a strange world. . . Well, well, well! . . .” Crowley then continues on to write about Sadler's “. . . awaited visit during the week 17-23 Sept”.

 

Love is the Law, love under will.

 

Yours fraternally

 

Aleister Crowley
