Correspondence from Frieda Harris to Aleister Crowley
[Undated fragment]
I am very glad the Tao book is coming out at last. I do hope it will have a great reception which it needs. Good luck to the Work.
What a work too!
The flail I have is like this
In wood. It is rather lovely. I should prefer to use it. But anyhow the Knight must stand as he is for rejection or acceptance as he won't be any other way. I can't make out if he is alright or not.
Please don't frighten me with the Sword suit. I have obeyed in every way. I can't see how they can be wrong. The 3 was a fair horror and great suffering. I am glad to be seated on a pantacle but there are streets of work to do. I ought to be printing the names and not writing letters at all.
I find the cooking of my food a great relief. When I have tried till my legs ache, to go down and toy with a legume is great recreation. I find just now no alcohol and no meat keeps the headache away and walking when I can leave this nigger-driving labour.
Now, please stop being so peevish and see the other chap's end of the stick. Yes! I know yours. I've done all I can, but I wish you wouldn't believe that you need not be sincere to me. For pity's sake Aleister, stop being so clever, your man of the world side, I can't understand it is no use—oh! philosopher and master lost!
Yours fraternally,
Frieda
