Aleister Crowley Diary Entry Friday, 1 May 1942
[I Ching hexagram] 50.
Moved!!
Thank Ham [Gerald Hamilton] for help of Eric Jackson Taxi & tip 15/-. Eric interests the aged Alys [Aleister Crowley’s female persona]: is it too silly? is it merely cerebral?
Jermyn Property Co did not, as expected, push the effrontery of their attempt to swindle me as far as blackmail about removing luggage. Never even gave bill!
12 3/4 Lunch RC [Robert Cecil] good though I was fagged out.
F.H. [Frieda Harris] dashed through, hurrying from nowhere to nowhere. She brought me pounds of brawn & sponge cake in the afternoon: tried to eat them at supper. N.[o] G.[ood].
4 Lady Waldie-Griffith. Me half dead. All talk anti-Jewish. Message re her [I Ching hexagram] 51 Chen Fire/Fire.
Heart stood up admirably to the move. I worked really hard shifting books & heavy things. Tired at Lady W’s, but tidied a whole lot.
Bed at 8 1/2 v.[ery] tired, but not feeling bad.
