I am here, Laura Burroughs. I am glad to be able to write
you again and tell you that since I last wrote you I have made
much progress and come into the possession of much more happiness.
Dear cousin, I am so glad that I can tell you this, for I know that
you rejoice with me in my happiness and the knowledge of what great
mercy has come to me. I merely wanted to say this, for it makes
me very happy to come to you in this way.
Well he (her husband) is in the spirit world but in a very dark
plane, and is not at all happy. I have been with him some, but have
not been able to do him any good, as his old beliefs cling to him
and prevent his progress. Sometime we may be able to help him, and
will then try.
She (Helen) has told me he is not my soulmate, and I have met my
soulmate very recently; he is in the same sphere with me and we
are very happy together and are trying to progress together. Well,
I never knew him on earth. He lived in Pennsylvania and died a long
time before I did, and tells me that he had to go through much suffering
and darkness before he got into the plane of light. He is a very
beautiful spirit, and I could love him, I believe, even if he were
not my soulmate; but as he is, you know what our love means. He
is looking at me write and heard your question and says his name
was Henry W. Spaulding, and lived in Millville, if you know where
that is.
After I had made some progress and got some love in my soul, Helen
brought him to me one time, and said "Laura, here is a young
man who has been very anxious to meet you for some time, and you
must not fall in love with him, if you can keep from doing so,"
and she laughed. Well, I suppose, I blushed, as we mortals used
to say, but I did fall in love, as you can imagine, and have been
loving him ever since. How we all love Helen for her kindness and
the great good that she does. You just wait until you come over,
and you will see the most beautiful girl that you ever saw.
He returns the satisfaction (salutation), and says that he considers
himself very fortunate in having such a cousin, and he means it,
for he sees the wonder of the great gift that you have, and the
loving and high spirits that come to you. I must say good night now,
and with my love I will stop.
Your loving cousin,
Laura
