Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Karl Germer

[Excerpt from 12 January 1946 letter from Karl Germer to Grady McMurtry.]

A.C wrote me Dec. 5th:—

“I am very glad Grady [McMurtry] has got in contact with you; he seemed to me to be developing splendidly in every respect. I shall value very much his report on conditions in California. I should like him to go to all the various adherents, whether actually in the Lodge [Agape Lodge], or out of it (with, of course, the exception of Smith [Wilfred Talbot Smith], who is to be completely ignored). It is, of course, part of his duty as a (VII°) Sovereign Grand Inspector General to do just this job of running round summing everything and everybody up, and reporting to you.”
