Dear Kaplan.

 

Many thanks for sending me the Mannix book. Anything in it that appears new is straight invention. Long live the [illegible] of A.C.

     

Sir Gerald Kelly told me that A.C. had a bookplate designed by Aubrey Beardsley, and he Kelly copied the idea. This is when they were at Trinity College Cambridge. No copy of the bookplate (A.C.'s) is known, not even the Beardsley authority who consulted me once having seen a copy.

     

I too am off Crowley at the moment. I came across an envelope in a drawer containing material for you copied about a year ago which I never sent. I post [illegible] by [illegible] cover.

 

Yours

 

Gerald Yorke
