Published letter (WCP7209.8373)

[1] [p. 223] My valued friend Mr. Arthur Mee, of Llanishen, Cardiff, an astronomer who investigated astrology in an impartial spirit of enquiry, with the result that he is convinced that it is based on truth, and is "a great physical fact capable of rendering unlimited assistance in the social and moral field," states that "Dr. Alfred B. [sic] Wallace candidly admits the remarkable correctness of some astrological predictions which have come under his notice, but refers the whole thing to some sort of spirit influence." Dr. Wallace's conclusion is that "the care, attention, labour, and study required to draw out an accurate horoscope and derive from it accurate results, offer the conditions which enable spirits to impress on the astrological student the particular results he gets from the perplexities of the figures."
