Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to William Bernard Crow
The Ridge, Hastings.
25. 4. 47
Care Frater,
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
It was delightful to receive your letter of the 15th. The series of Letters, which we have now decided to call "Magick without Tears" is being put in order by a disciple who understands literary matters very well and has a great deal of occult knowledge at her finger-tips.
Thanks for planning the study of my books: I expect you have already seen the Occult Review's 3 1/2 pages about Olla. I am very pleased and wish I knew what the circulation of that paper is nowadays. In Shirley's [Ralph Shirley] time it used to be from 7,000 to 10,000. Anyhow that review ought to sell quite a few copies.
I am afraid I cannot help you about a publisher since Ryder has failed you. It is quite possible that your Watkins may take the bit in his teeth; since he came back from the War he has shewn several signs of sprouting.
There is a lot about my attitude to dreams in Liber Aleph, which is now in the Press and I expect the first proofs as "mid May's eldest child."
I cannot advise you about Eastern Schools of Dream Interpretation—most of them are rather puerile.
No, I do not know Langford Jarstin—tell me more about him.
This is my busiest afternoon, so I will ask you to forgive me if I break off here
Love is the law, love under will.
Yours fraternally,
Aleister Crowley (M.K.)
I am asking my secretary to sign this as it will save 2 days.
