Dear Sir:

Following on my call upon you when you did me the very great favor of granting an interview2– which I shall always remember with much pleasure – [2] You will receive by post a copy of Swedenborg's3 work "The Divine Love & Wisdom"4 which the Counsel of this Society begs you will kindly accept.

I trust that you may find some leisure to make yourself acquainted with the contents of the book which presents some aspects of Swedenborg's Philosophy of Creation.

I am | Yours faithfully | F A Gardiner5 [signature]
