Dear Sir:—
I have finished your books and am proud to know you through them. Your last book I have to read yet on [1 word illeg.].
I am a student of the Temples in the Bible & see therein a solution in a symbolic way to the mystery between mind & matter.
[2] The Tabernacle & Temple are symbolic of the Human body. I can trace each nerve blood vessel, the mechanism of mind & of the connection of mind to space therein. It is wonderful, grand & deep. Our bodies are but miniature worlds & once the laws which govern one are known so the other is.
Believe me dear friend, this is Christ's promise to us in this day: "The Due Time" is here.
[3]3 The same laws govern the Atmosphere of Mars too. The lines Prof. Lowell & you see are not Canals in the sense Prof. Lowell imagines but are so many nerves & avenues[?] of life to Mars from the Sun & natural[.] A[?] little world like [1 word illeg.] ourselves. Could we see the Aura surrounding our own bodies we would perceive the same lines of tubes containing life[.] There are numbered & each has its work to do & [4] connection with space & the Earth. This is no Hypothesis but interpreted from the Temples & can all be proven to the greatest scientist by figures corresponding to [1 word illeg.], Biology; &c.
Does not Prof. James claim after all the knowledge gained in Psychology it is yet to be interpreted the solution, the finding of the soul & immortality. Our lungs are full of intelligent Atoms in the form of oxygen & Ozone. The study is grand. I wish I could interest you. At present I can only study, I am limited as to means to write. A medium gave me your name & much more. I belonged to the Psychic. R. S. here till this year. Love it all.
[5]2 I believe these societies are the "Elect people" to hearten[?] Christ's real Church — the human body. Its perfection & its laws known. The dates fit to the Bible Chronology for this event 18/82. Dear Sir Wallace how I hope you can live to see this cleared up. This seemingly "Unknowable", which I deny as it is only a few years off the Solution according to these Bible dates which [1 word illeg.] [6] which have not failed in one [1 word illeg.] are as yet. We are in wonderful times[.] Science is accenting so much along these lines & may God bless them in their devotion to Truth.
I have a dear friend in Birkenhead, England whom I am to visit shortly. I wish I could see you. If too late here on this Earth for may arrest[?] [1 word illeg.] [7] bring out there grand symbolism when you "have I out[?]". Pardon my writing you. The subject is my only excuse. I know feel you are intensely interested in the same This medium gave me your name. She never knew of you as she is no reader. I have only attended her twice & she gave me some information both times & connected [8] my studies & books with you. Then I had not read any of your books or thought of you.
You will find these lines of Mars; The human body, The world in the Kabbala. All is very plain true. Pardon this long letter. My people were from Wales too. The enclosed card is home of ancestors & I am Custodian. Use this letter to a Medium. You may get better results than my letter gives.
