An ex-president is still in darkness due to some earth desires.

I am here, Johnson:

I am here, (Andrew?) Johnson, an ex-President of the United States. I want to write because I am in darkness and suffering from the recollections of my evil life, and want help.

I am in the earth plane and have some of my mortal traits with me now. I was a great drinker when on earth and I am still drinking and never satisfied. So you see how long the appetite has stayed with me. So help me if you can.

I know that it may surprise you to hear from me in this way, but the fact was that I was a President of your great country does not help me one bit in my condition here. No matter what a man may have been on earth he cannot escape from his evil deeds, and a President is thought no more of than the meanest man in the community.

I wish that you would show me the way to light and freedom from my sufferings.

Well, I am sorry, but I suppose that I must wait.

So good night.
