Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Eliza M. Butler
The Ridge, Hastings.
April First [1946]
Dear Professor Butler.
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
Some 25 years ago I wrote a Commentary on the Book of the Law—over a quarter of a million words of the most turgid and incomprehensible hogwash ever penned.
Certain adventurous spirits, however, have claimed to have found specks of gold in the silt. (I have never been able to face the MS since it was typed—not even to correct 'literals')
One of them, Dr. Louis Umfraville Wilkinson is now at work trying to extract some coherence. He is a real 49-er and this letter is to present him to you in the hope that you may prove to be his long-lost Clementine.
Love is the law, love under will.
Yours sincerely.
