Dear Dr Wallace
I have just read in Light" a short review2 of your book3 "God & His Creating Angels"[.]
As I read I felt you were with me in spirits & that I could with pleasure have grasped your hand[.] I seem to enter so clearly into your theory & must present my warmest [2] thanks for the help you have been to me.
Having thought so much on the same subjects, it is delightful to meet with a souls influence such as yours "even in prints" you increase my power in arguments which I have occasionally with two materialists who can never imagine anything beyond Hackle"4
I know what you tell, is real truth to you.
I have been a member [3] of the L.S.A. twenty two years & the Spiritual philosphy [sic] has been my greatest pleasure, I have read some of your books which have helped out many ideas.
Thanking you again for the expression of your thoughts.
I have written this on the impulse of the moment, I might not have done or had I stopped to consider
I remain in grateful sympathy | Yours sincerely | Ellen Colyer5 [signature]
