Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Wilfred Talbot Smith
[On the paper of the Old Ship Hotel. Brighton]

93.
Got your long letter at last. Why couldn't you write me when the troubles arose? There must be something wrong of you to alienate people like Jacoby [Oliver Jacobi]. I get a sort of impression that you interfere too much in the affairs of other people. I feel, too, that Vagina's [Regina Kahl] "personality" would send me screaming to the nearest aerodrome. Why not literally "loud and adulterous?" Aimee MacPherson has made a career on it. Bit of the 'smug troglodyte' in you too, perhaps?
I've got a cold and a bad temper this morning: so excuse critical tone of this letter. Don't think I fail to appreciate your real virtues, great loyalty, will-power, courage and perseverance.
