Opus[1]

Lunch with Jayne.
Moved to Cumberland Hotel (devastating comfort. Designed and run on the assumption that every “traveller from the cradle to the grave through the dim night of this immortal day” is a Commercial Traveller).
Dined at Frascati’s.
Paid [George] Mather £5.[2]
1—Crowley performs a magical sexual operation. 2—Crowley paid £5 to George Mather for five letters stolen by Captain Eddie Cruze from Betty May to be used to discredit her testimony in Crowley's libel case against Nina Hamnett and her book Laughing Torso. Crowley was later arrested on 21 June 1934 and eventually tried and found guilty on 25 July 1934 for being in possession of stolen letters.
