Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Jane Wolfe
The Ridge, Hastings
18.11.46
Cara Sora,
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
I feel very strongly that I ought to write to you on this my 48th Magical birthday,[1] especially as your letter reached me this morning.
Thanks very much for the clipping from 'Time'. Of course, as you know, I was doing that analysis of Mind under ether so long ago as 1924—you might write and tell them so. Mention especially that I have perfected a method for finding out what is, as the French say, at the bottom of the flask. It is very kind of you to offer to send me books, but I have hardly time to read tem for one thing, and for another they cost money. What we need is funds for the printer: that has the priority of all priorities.
You must forgive me if I cannot write at greater length; I am trying in this short afternoon to cover about a week's arrears, or more. In fact I shan't do it because I am so ill-tempered.
I am very glad to note that you are carrying on yourself so cheerfully.
By the way, about the stuff you were typing for Jack [Jack Parsons], the copy was intended for him but on a condition which he has not fulfilled and I think, therefore, that you should hang onto it until he sends the 25 pounds he owes to Louis Wilkinson.
Love is the law, love under will.
Yours,
Aleister.
1—Refers to the anniversary of Crowley's initiation into the Golden Dawn on 18 November 1898.
