I am here, Lar - - - - -.
I am here, John the Baptist.
Well, the spirit who tried to write could not remember his name,
and he has gone into the higher sphere to recover his recollections.
He was not a very good spirit, nor yet one in much darkness. He
has returned and says his name is Larkin, and that he knew you on
earth. I will let him write, for he is so anxious.
Well, I am sorry that I disarranged things, but really I could
not remember my name until I went to the Fourth Sphere, where I
live, and recovered my composure. This is my first appearance in
your atmosphere and I was somewhat confused.
I merely want to say that I am a believer now in the future state;
in fact, I know that I am alive even though I died when on earth.
Well, it only goes to show that we can so easily be mistaken in
what we think we know as a result of what we call reason. I am very
happy, but not so happy as my wife who is in the Fifth Sphere, as
she tells me.
I have never yet been able to accept her beliefs in the New Birth,
although I see the result of something in her condition which she
claims to be the New Birth. But I can't believe in it, and I am
enjoying myself in the society of those who are happy in the exercise
of their intellectual faculties only.
I will not write more, so thanking you, I will say good night.
