Dear Sir

I herewith return the volume you so kindly lent to me, and for which I tender my sincere thanks.

The book has bewildered me, for, till quite recently, I was a disbeliever in spiritualism.

But the more I read the "Poems from the Innerlife" the conviction of the truth in them was forced on me until I could no longer doubt.

I have not yet finished "Miracles & Modern Spiritualism" [2] but am deeply interested in the book and am enjoying it.

I did not think the "Prophecy of Valoe[?]" very characteristic of Poe¹ but it is a fine poem, and the others do not seem to leave any room for doubt.

The thought that hides under the words seem to have the same feeling of "celestially[?]" that Poe's have.

I am in no hurry for the vol[ume] of Poe I sent and should again like to express the indebtedness I am in.

Yours very truly | Ernest Marriott [signature]
