Correspondence from George Frederick Sims to Philip Kaplan
G.F. SIMS (RARE BOOKS) Peacocks, Hurst, Berkshire

Report:
Original water colour drawing by Aleister Crowley. Vividly coloured head of a woman (an unattractive thing). 18" x 12". signed and dated in the corner. Authenticity guaranteed. Firm order only. £8/8/—
Original pencil sketch. "Mrs. Casley". with an inscription by Crowley "She nose. SHE NOSE. . . .". 14" x 10". signed and dated in the corner. Authenticity guaranteed. Firm order only. £6/6/—
Crowley did very few drawings, and they are now very rarely found. These are interesting for that reason but they are not attractive. I do not have them in stock but have them on approval from a friend of A.C. and can therefore only accept a "firm" order for them: there is no doubt about their authenticity.
Philip Kaplan, Esq., 47-17 39th Avenue Long Island City 4 New York, U.S.A.
