Parkstone, Dorset
Friday Evening. [1897]1
My dear Violet2
I enclose you Will’s3 last letter — Send on to Hurst4 when read.
Supposing by an extraordinary accident Mrs. Greck5 knew the agent, would he tell her all his criminal secrets, even to details of bribes & their amounts? She lives in S.W. of London far from the East & is occupied all day. [2] How she should get this knowledge which would [have] taken a clever detective probably months at unlimited expense is to me inconceivable.
However no doubt it would be the theory of those who know nothing of Spiritualism.
I sent you a copy of American Fabian. There [3] is a para in it about Sand for Children in Parks!
