Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to John Symonds
9 July [1946]
Dear John Symonds.
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
Thanks for yours here this A.M. Terribly sorry to hear about Madame: I thought she was delicate and flower like, needing gracious tending.
Is SMITH verdict against all propositions, or merely against their risking it? As I said, all I really want is some one to do the donkey-work, send out review copies, show to trade, arrange to export to U.S.A. Small royalty to them for this; the usual thing for the country rector's widow who wants his sermons given to the world. You will help me immensely if you can arrange this—without anybody. Should have thought Tombi, though, would have done Olla at their risk.
But I must get it out of my way. Eyes. Trouble was only tobacco, and improvement ought to be noticeable by Aug 1 if I cut it out 100%. As I'm doing.
Hope to see A.J. [Augustus John] this week or next.
Best wishes etc. Excuse brevity; writing is a strain.
Love is the law, love under will.
Yours sincerely,
Aleister Crowley.
