Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to W. Dawson Sadler
[SUMMARY]
Aston Clinton Bucks
Dec 14. [1944]
My dear Sadler:
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
[The letter starts "What a deplorable fool I am to have employed an even more deplorable ditto as secretary!" In short it seems that Crowley no longer possessed a copy of his Book 4, Part II, but had borrowed a copy from Sadler, and given it to his secretary with instructions to type out some half-a-dozen passages that were relevant to a project upon which he was then working. The book had since been returned to Sadler, and Crowley received the typescript, only to discover that the section "I wanted most, and wanted instantly was missing." Crowley then tells Sadler where to locate the section: "Soror Virakam's [Mary d'Este-Sturges] story of how I disappeared and got levitated, chair and all, and I don't know what else" and asks if he would copy it and send it on to him. The letter closes with his thanks and good wishes for the Solstice.]
Yours sincerely
[signed] Aleister Crowley
