Dear Mr. Flower1
I much apologise for not earlier replying to your letter about the American Psychical Society. I have only just come across it, and cannot recollect even reading it before! I fear it must have got mislaid at the time and overlooked till now. It is dated April 14th! And I sh[oul]d have received it at a time when I was very busy.
[2] I am afraid I cannot give you anything of much use for your Society as my experience has been less extensive than that of most enquirers, and I have already published most of my own experiences of any importance. I send you however a short statement of an experience while in America which may perhaps come under the class of cases you desire. I am sorry if it is not more startling [3] or uncommon, but it seems to me to be clearly beyond thought reading &c. even if we exclude the difficulty of how the messages were written.
A few weeks back I sent you one article from the "Arena".
Yours very truly | Alfred R. Wallace [signature]
