Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Grady McMurtry
The Ridge Hastings
8 - 3 - '45 e.v.
Dear Louis
93
Thanks and Ta [illegible] for stamps. N.B. The G∴W∴ [Great Work] is not at stake; they are only to please people with nephews whom I can't tip.
Also for photo: you do seem to have got into a villainous-Cooking gang!
Snowed under getting ready for Grant [Kenneth Grant], who should get here to-morrow evening. I made a bargain with Symonds [Vernon Symonds]; it's supposed to cost me £1.0.0 a week to have him here; but it will probably add up to £2. So I'm tightening my belt! Quite well again now, but I have to be bloody careful while there are cold winds about.
Must dash to the post—write often, whether you have anything to say or not. I have written you 3 or 4 times. Did the candy come? I had to leave it to the girl to pack and send; still, we 'opes!
93 93/93
Yours ever,
Aleister
Lieut. Grady L. McMurtry O-1574983 1814th Ord S&M Co (Avn) A.P.O. 149 U.S. Army
