Aleister Crowley Diary Entry Friday, 5 September 1930
Fri[day] 5.
Swimming, etc. Got very tired and burnt. Monster [Hanni Jaeger] very weak in the knees. (It appears later Saturday that she had a touch of the Sun from being too long on the beach the first day.)
.6%1 [albumin][1]. This probably due to the strain caused by Sun, etc.
1—Crowley carried with himself a device to test the level of albumin in his blood, probably through urine. Other similar annotations from this point on show that he was testing the level of albumin almost on a daily basis, comparing it with his general physical condition. Normal levels of albumin in blood range from 3.5 to 5 g/dL.
