I am here, Nathan Plummer:
Well, I am glad to be with you and the Doctor again, as I am very
different from what I was when I last wrote the Doctor.
I don't know just how to tell you what my condition is, but as
I told you it was hard to learn heavenly things in hell, I now
tell you it is hard to describe the heavenly things which are now
mine and which to me are more wonderful than I could ever conceive
of, even when I was in dreamland on earth, as I sometimes was.
I am in the Third Sphere, and with such beautiful spirits, all
having this Love of which you and the Doctor tried to tell me when
on earth, and which you told me so many times of after I came to
the spirit world. My home is something that I cannot describe, and
I will not try; but you can let your imaginations work, and at the
same time remember the descriptions of heavens that you may have
heard from other spirits. And my happiness is beyond compare, and
I am enjoying it, you may rest assured. As I used to swear with
all my soul, I now pray with all my soul, but my soul now has much
of this Great Love.
Well, to think of all the changes that have happened in the short
time since I left you on earth, makes me realize that the Love of
the Father is beyond all comprehension of mortals. And I also realize
that a very little thing made all this glory and happiness possible
for me - I mean the few talks that I had with the Doctor and you
when on earth.
I have been with my brother a great deal lately, for I can see
that he will soon be in the spirit world, and I am so anxious that
some of the truth may come to him before he passes. I am glad that
the Doctor talked to him as he did, and read him the messages, and
also sent him the ones that I wrote, for he has read them more than
once, and he has commenced to think of some of the truths that they
contain. He is not yet able to comprehend their meaning, but when
he comes over, he will find it easier to realize conditions, and
be the more ready to understand and believe what may be told him
by the spirits here.
My wife is progressing also, and yet a strange thing appears in
her case, and that is that she has not been able to progress as
rapidly as I have. I was a very wicked man and she was a good Christian
woman, but my wickedness has not kept me back so much as have her
Christian beliefs. While she knows that some things she believed
are untrue, and that she must get rid of other things of her earth
belief and that they have been disappointing to her, yet she does
not seem to be able to give them up entirely and seems, therefore,
to be kept back in her progress. This is strange to me.
Well, give my best love to the Doctor and tell him that what he
told me as a belief of his I know to be true, and I am happy in
my knowledge.
Good night. With my love, I am
Your old friend,
Plummer
