Correspondence from Denis Clark to Louis Wilkinson
28.4.49
32 Tite Street S.W.3.
Dear Mr. Wilkinson,
Thank you very much indeed for your prompt reply to my letter and for permitting me to use the extracts from Crowley's poems in my book about Sicily. I appreciate, too, your kindness in sending me the scathingly entertaining verses on Lord Alfred Douglas [A Slim Gilt Soul]—was he as bad as all that?—I don't know much about him really, except the bones of the stag and a rather tragic little poem in an [illegible] I always took as lament and tribute to [Oscar] Wilde. I will try to include that one too, and meanwhile enclose my guinea for coverage of my quotations.
I am going to Windram next week and then on to Sicily till September. I hope I may meet you one day as I would ne most interested to hear something from you of Crowley and his party. Dr. McGowan mentioned your name, but I was unable to trace you in London. Will you thank My Symonds [John Symonds] on my behalf—and again thank you.
Yours [illegible]
Denis Clark.
