Dear Sir

Will you pardon my writing you on subject in which I take a great interest but ^an interest which at present extends no farther than to that which belongs to enquiring — I mean Spiritualism.

I have for a long time investigated the subject [2] but the results have not been satisfactory. I am told that you say it only requires perseverance and patience for anyone to become convinced. I should like immensely to hear your views on the matter — and if you have published anything upon it – will ask you to send [3] me ^the references — moreover when you are in town and in this central part shall feel much obliged if you will favour me with a call.

I am yours | very truly | Arthur Leared¹ M. D [signature]
