My dear Soror
I expect to be in your neighbourhood at about one o'clock tomorrow and propose to call, and hope you will be in. I cannot keep my thoughts from Bunco and, strangely, from A.C. but only by way of comparison. Who -- of these twain --is the real Guru? A.C. & F.H. ought to be hung on a sour apple tree -- or given over to the tender mercies of Horatio Bumley and his barbarians.
I have my ticket of embarkation notice and shall not have to leave until Tuesday morning when I will go by the special from Paddington at 11.5. or from Euston 12.5. If you are disposed for an airing you might accompany me to Streatham and Croydon.
Soror -- trust in love and kind thoughts -- we are glad your sister is with you
Fraternally yours
C.R.
*Oujupah here expresses deep gratitudes to his friends at Aeclectic Tarot Forum who were kind enough to read and decipher several words for him.

ReplyDeleteI forgot to mention : the letter was sent from Charles Rosher to Ethel Archer just after her husband (Bunco) had been killed in WWI. They both new Aleister Crowley personally.
