Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Louis Umfreville Wilkinson
12 Dec 1944
Dear Louis
J Anderson is not the John of the Ballad, but "Nurse". I've told her: O.K. till 20th at least. Lean Big jumped yestreen to the meagre limp 4 1/2 in of Jim-James. Expects to get to Rota Friday; not sure. Your remarks on Mortadello are bewildering. "the 3 months" "to have and to hold etc"??? And there is not even anti-Rome in it. Contrariwise, Monica is niece of a Pope and pulls strings in Rome and saves the Legate's life and gets blessed and supported and all the rest. Are you mixing it up with some other book? Till Saturday, then.
Yours ever
A.C.
P.S. I have lost a word, like Freemasonry. It is old fashioned (Dickens period) very genteel; means "elementary educational establishment". Not "academy". I think it begins with E. I need it for use in Z.22.
A.C.
4 syllable, or 2? Also a line of A.C.S. "Swift without feet, and flying without wings" sounds not quite right. Please correct me.
A.C.
