Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Louis Umfreville Wilkinson
7 August 1945
Dear Louis
Benkoldy had come and gone—not without leaving a more than somewhat luscious stigma. Scene. 'Bus No. 2, which passes the famous old Harrow Inn, Dra. Pers: A.C. and a crowd of strangers. They were arguing loudly as to whether the reference was to an agricultural instrument, or a weapon useful at Crecy. The Inn appeared, with Sign writ large. The girl next me, wild with triumph" "Nah then! Didnye tellyer orlalong it were the 'Arrer!" The "Atomic Bomb" is interesting, not only because of LIBER AL III 7.8 but because one of the men who were working on it was for some time at the Abbey [Abbey of Thelema] in Cefalu. I think you said there was some hope of your coming here towards the end of August; so mote it be! Bar rare chats with Vernon Symond, and the Chess Club—the silliest of all sayings "Dolce far niente". For I'm in a flat spin as far as work goes; it's a sort of general exhaustion. Perhaps if that printer gets busy on OLLA I may feel better. And how's yourself?
Yours ever
Aleister
