Stephen B. Elkins is in a condition of darkness and suffering, is asking Mr. Padgett for help.

Received by James Padgett.

Washington D.C.

I am here, Stephen B. Elkins.

I want to tell you that I am in a condition of darkness and suffering that causes me to need help.

You knew of me on earth and you know that I was not a very spiritual man, and must necessarily be in a condition which needs help.

I am in a place that makes me think I am in hell and I want to get out. So try to help me.

Yes, I knew him very well, and I want to learn of his whereabouts. Is he in the spirit world?

I see some bright spirits but don’t see him and I am disappointed.

So tell me, can you help me?

I will come.

Good night.

This spirit returns later to tell of his progress.
