Dear Sir.
I note your letter in "Light"2 replying to mine of last week. I read your book "Miracles & Modern Spiritualism"3, with great interest in Sep[tembe]r. 1890, but not since. I have no recollection of having noticed any reference to brain as battery. I got two copies, one to lend, & both are out. When I read the new Ed[itio]n.4 I was struck by the expression referring to the brain, wh[ich]: occurs twice. p.p. 44. & 107. I called the attention of [2]5 some friends, who knew my views, to the point as the first time I had seen it so stated. The Ed[itio]n. of "Light" has another letter from me which may be in next week’s issue. I will wait until that is in your hands & then, if you will allow me I will write [to] you again. I suppose I attach a different meaning to some of the terms used by you. On looking over the new Ed[itio]n. I find I have marked the following: -
p. 56 line 4 from bottom, for "these" read where[?].
108 5 "more" moral.
110 2 "trivality" triviality.
121 13 philosohers" philosophers.
124 6 top "infinite" finite.
Yours faithfully | F. Clarke. [signature]
