Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to John Symonds
29 Dec 46
Dear J.S.
I have sold 50 Olla to Atlantis Book Shop. He has one copy, and wants 24 as soon as you are ready to distribute, and 25 a fortnight later. 33 and a third per cent, of course.
Michael Juste thinks 40 copies far too many to distribute, and I agree. But perhaps you have personal contacts which would justify any paper or magazine—It is of course entirely in your discretion. I only ask you not to waste copies on obviously useless rags.
Frieda Harris comes to Hastings tomorrow; I hope you and one or more friends will be with the party.
Happy New Year to you.
93 93/93.
Yours sincerely,
A.C.
P.S. I hope you liked the blurb on the dust-jacket. Did any one send you a typescript of Liber Aleph, The Book of Wisdom or Folly?
A.C.
