Aleister Crowley Diary Entry Monday, 14 November 1938
[I Ching Hexagram] 37.
Catesby arrived, laid down circle.
Dictated XIV & XV [for The Book of Thoth].
8.45 . . . . dinner.
Asked Peggy [Peggy Wetton] for E. Standard to find time of Wireless news. She went out, smelt burning, went to see, opened stove; fat caught fire. She removed pan with wet tea-cloth to throw it out, got burnt, screamed, called me. I put fire out. She badly burnt. I called doctor. She was utterly heroic & unselfish.
