Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to John Symonds

Dear John Symonds.

 

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

 

Eppui si mueve! They promised to despatch 50 copies [of Olla] to you on the 13th—or possibly I may send them by messenger. As to the prospectus, I am having "Ready on December 22. Portrait frontispiece by Augustus John R.A. Dust jacket by Frieda Harris." typed on the back of the existing ones.

     

Frieda [Harris]—that reminds me. She was here for the week-end, having found a really good hotel—the Medlow. She was wildly enthusiastic about Mr. Waste [a children's book by Symonds]. Have you a carbon you could lend me for a week? It would alleviate the pangs of solitude to an incredible extent.

 

Love is the law, love under will.

 

Yours sincerely,

 

Aleister Crowley.
