Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to John Symonds

 

     

 

Netherwood.

 

 

5 Sept [1946]

 

 

Dear John Symonds

 

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.

 

Yours of N[o] D[ate]. Idea excellent; but remember official date publ[icatio]n Sept 23 [for Olla].

     

Here is Wisdom. It is the worst possible start for a partnership unless one trusts the other 100% I should say inevitably fatal.

     

This point ought to be fought out now: if not, small squabbles grow big, and soon one has a first class rumpus, whose repercussions may go on for years.

     

Thanks for inquiries: Dr says I'm quite well; the recent bust up seems to have been an accident. Eyes quite o.k. so far, despite moderate resumption of smoking: I went through those proofs without distress and much care.

     

The printer needs a swift kick; we must have proof of binding this week or so. I'm phoning him this A.M.

 

93     93/93

 

Yours.

 

Aleister Crowley.

 

P.S. Louis Wilkinson is close to you at 107 Eyre Court N W 3. It might help for you to know him.

 

A.C.
