International5

January 14, 1918.
Mr. Edwin Markham,
92 Waters Ave.,
West New Brighton, New York.
Cher maître,
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law! It has been very remiss of me not to write to you for so long. I have had a spell of creative work (of sorts) which has been keeping me divorced from my pajamas. You were kind enough to promise me a poem for the “International” and if you have one handy, I should really be very grateful to you if you would send it along. If you have finished reading my “Equinox #7”, I should be very glad if you would let me have it back as I have for some time, promised to lend that particular volume to somebody else who is interested in the subject. Love is the law, love under will!
With every best wish, I am,
Yours ever,
Aleister Crowley
AC/RBG
