Aleister Crowley Memorandum re Mr. John Bland Jameson Sunday, 1 January 1939
See HERE for Full Memorandum (12 May 1938 - 7 February 1939)
It must be understood that the general financial arrangements were that the expenses of the house were to be pooled, and personal expenses were to be kept separate. For instance, if either of us invited a man to dinner, at the house, that was a household expense; if either of us took a man out to dinner at a restaurant, that was a personal matter. If I buy a necktie for my own use, that is my business; if he buys a tennis raquet for his use, that is his business. If a new electric fire is out into the house, that is our joint concern, to be dealt with as equity may consider reasonable.
1 January [1939]. It is as well to note here that Mr Jameson had told me very definitely that he was not going to Switzerland. That he had given up that idea; that immediately after the Xmas festivities were over, he would come and settle down to work with me, refusing all other engagements. I thought it extremely bad manners and worse, that he should have casually thrown up this plan.
