Dear Sir,

No doubt you are aware that the Spiritualists National Union1 have published a number of pamphlets dealing with the question of a future life and kinred [sic] subjects. It is my intention to have these pamphlets bound together so that I shall have them in a more permanent form. I have had a number of them autographed by the Authors who fortunately I have seen personally, and I shall be very glad if you would be good enough to autograph the enclosed pamphlet of yours, on page 5 where I have written your name in pencil. You will, I feel sure, excuse my troubling you on this apparently small matter, but although I have never seen you, I can assure you that in me you have a young admirer.

I enclose a stamped addressed envelope for return, and thank you in anticipation.

I trust that you will yet have many years of health and consequent happiness, and with my best wishes to you,

I remain, | faithfully yours, | Fred. E. Monks [signature]

Dr. A.R. Wallace,

Broadstone.

Spiritualists’ National Union was founded in 1890 to promote the advancement and diffusion of the religion and the religious philosophy of Spiritualism on the basis of the Seven Principles (q.v.).
