Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Louis Umfreville Wilkinson
Louis Wilkinson Grove Heart Ripley Surrey
14.1.47
Dear Louis,
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
I had your letter this morning and rejoice at the return of my ‘Unquiet Grave.’[1] Symonds will be annoyed if you spell him ‘Simon.’ Vernon [Vernon Symonds] is very much better, but will probably act foolishly and get another illness in consequence.
Frieda [Frieda Harris] I saw something of in spite of her bronchitis. She was well enough to come up here on Saturday morning and returned to London on Sunday.
My general news is rather good except that I am hellishly fed up. I don’t know what to do about the printer’s account. I think he ought to do the work for nothing on the ground of having printed my seal upside down. In any case he has offered to take £30 off, and if I beat up that binder hard for stamping my seal upside down on the front cover [of Olla], I ought to get a bit more.
The trouble with me is that I am so easy. I ought to have told him that I was going to pay him nothing for the whole of the book. Oh, bother everything!
I am dreadfully tired this afternoon; you will have to forgive me if I break off here.
Love is the law, love under will.
Yours ever, with love
Aleister
