Dear John Symonds.

 

93.

 

Thanks for your latest.

     

I think "road-hog" should settle all the satisfaction of both, because it removes the whole point at issue.

     

(Unless you want to erect a kind of mixed syllogism.

     

All Jews are hogs.

     

All hogs should be made into pork.

     

Therefore any reference to a hog is an advocacy of the massacre of millions of innocent people!)

     

To replace the whole poem would involve trouble, and expense which I cannot afford. So I do hope you're happy now! If not, please wire, as the printer must have the book for press at once.

 

93     93/93.

 

Yours ever.

 

Aleister Crowley.

 

P.S. I have pointed out that the Great Men of Science who are responsible for this age are (or were) all Jews: Einstein, Hertz, Freud, the Syphilis man—I can't think of his name: etc.
