Correspondence from Karl Germer to Robert Lund
February 7, 1958.
Dear Mr. Lund:
My acquaintance in Detroit sent me the clipping of the Detroit News as well as your address.
In 1917 Mr. Aleister Crowley gave to the Leonard Warehouse in Detroit 2 trunks containing valuable books and MSS. These two trunks disappeared in a mysterious way—by "black magic"? Mr. Crowley returned to Europe in 1919. In 1926 I visited Detroit, but it was impossible to get any helpful information from the Warehouse people. I should be much obliged for any data you might be able to give—I am asking now out of curiosity.
I understand that you possess 125 of Crowley's books and MSS. Would you be good enough to give me a complete list of these with as accurate a description as your time allows you to give me. What I need is:
(a) Titles, names, and the type of binding of the printed books; (b) The same, as far as possible for the MSS.
Anticipating your early reply,
Very sincerely yours,
Karl Germer
