Dear Sir,

 

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

 

I got your letter this morning and was very interested in what you have to say. I am the head of certain organisations which I think might be of service to you. You mention that you have a number of my works, but you do not specify which. I should like to know this in case there are certain gaps which I might be able to fill. In particular, do you possess my prize work, The Book of Thoth? I am sending you a prospectus, but I am obliged to ask you to send me the cost of it, as I have got into trouble with the Ministry of Supply for distributing them free of charge. I do not think they are within their rights for various technical reasons with which I will not trouble you. But at least we may as well keep on the safe side. This book should be of great value to you as it sums up practically the whole of my knowledge in the particular study with which it deals.

 

Love is the law, love under will.

 

Yours sincerely,

 

Aleister Crowley
