At this sitting felt force in forearms as before, but not as strong, also felt force entering at back of head and come out on top. After sitting a while M. leaning (head) on his left elbow as usual, before writing, reached backward (behind himself) with his right hand as if asking for instructions. This answer came in writing and upside down to the writer of it:

"Yes my dear husband".

This was done for the benefit of party sitting on opposite side of table who could thus read it.

The medium then continued thus: "I was much pleased to see that you made out to spell my name. I wished so much to give you something, that you would consider a good test of my identity. It is so hard to present anything outside of my actual presence that would be considered a satisfactory test, just now, in the infancy of your [development]. Your angel guardians bid me to say to you that light and warmth from the celestial will soon pierce the clouds of seeming darkness, making every thing clear, as even now the soft soul- breezes move the leaves, quickening many beautiful germs, that have been hidden in the twilight of your soul. They will manifest in their season. Give them all you can of their sunshine. I cannot write the words, that your celestial angels inspire me to write to you; they are so grand and beautiful. I was privileged this morning by your band to act as a medium for the soul-inspirers. O what a happy privilege, my dear husband, to be one in the holy band to lift you up into the angelic heavens! I am also informed that you are progressing very fast indeed. This is in accordance with your soul's aspiration. I am learning so many fresh and glorious truths, dear husband, so grand that I want you to be the partaker of them conjointly with me. Is it not glorious to think, that we can actually aid each other to ascend and live in that life, where all is truth and love and wisdom? I have oh such grand teachers. Do you notice that what I say indicates a higher development into celestial unfoldment?

The angels bless you, my dear husband, and our darling child.

With love to both, I am, Your precious wife." P. S. Those who wrote those names yesterday are good spirits, who desire you to remember them, and to preserve the paper on which the names are written, as they were given as a test, and something will shortly happen that will recall this to your memory (Johnstown flood, see June 4, '89), and this will be a satisfactory proof of spirit return and immortality. --Anonymous Occult Diarist, 1889
