Aleister Crowley Diary Entry Wednesday, 6 May 1942
[I Ching hexagram] 30.
Another broiling day.
Have they got rabies here? Chambermaid refuses to clean my room: because (1) using the lavatory at 4 AM. I spat and missed the right place (2) that place is unclean. So it is: the flush doesn’t work right. So Topping—who certainly won’t prove one in these climes—tells me to leave at once.
I went to Bow St & Head of Ludlow & co. Head is a hunchback may be lucky! Message: [I Ching hexagram] 17 Sui (Sui also may mean that Ham. Ho. [Hamilton House] is a necessary step). Means, I think look further. This place is clearly only a stop-gap.
Enter, ex-machina, Det[ective]-Serg[eant] Wilson, who has found one box of books; he steered me to 140 Piccadilly (Hamilton House). Took suite 105: may be later 111. Tel GRO 2434 & 4626.
