I am here, George C. Calvert:

I was an acquaintance of yours when you were a student at New Market, and you will recollect me when I recall your memory to the fact that I was called “Judge.”

Well, I came, because I saw that other spirits were writing you, and when I looked at you I remembered you, and then desired to write.

I am in what is called the dark plane and have been for sometime now, though when I first entered the spirit world I went into the hells and suffered a great deal. But I am thankful that I have gotten out of the conditions that suited me for those places, and am now in a brighter plane and in less suffering.

I don’t know that you can do anything for me but some spirits say that you have helped them and if that be true I should like for you to help me.

I am willing to do most anything to get into a better condition, and if you will do what I say, I will appreciate it very much and try to follow your advice.

No, I should like to be surprised. Well, I have looked, and I see some wonderfully bright and beautiful spirits, but I don’t recognize any of them. Wait a moment – one is coming to me and I am surprised, for it is Prof. Salyards. How wonderful! Why he is really handsome! Well, well, dear old Prof. He says he is glad to see me and that I must go with him, and I certainly will.

I thank you very much and will come again.

Goodnight,

Your old friend.
