Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Wilfred T. Smith
The Ridge, Hastings
[Undated: circa late August 1945?]
Dear Mr Smith
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
I am obliged by your esteemed favour of the 6th August. But I must say I fail to understand it. You write as if we had been intimate together in the past; my memory tells me that I met you only once during my visit, I think, 3 days to Vancouver B.C., and that even on that occasion I never had a personal interview with you: by 'personal' I mean one without other people being present.[1]
I am much obliged to you for sending the packages, though I cannot imagine what they can be. No doubt they will arrive in due course, in which case I will acknowledge without delay.
Love is the law, love under will.
Aleister Crowley.
