"Enough is known already to warrant the immense interest which this subject is now creating, and I think that there is in the future (not very distant) a glad day approaching. I am sometimes disposed to be depressed. I have very little from Spirits, such as I would most wish to get communications from, and you can hardly realize the sense of neglect--so to speak--which I feel. I hope, when you return, some of my kindred Spirits--that delicate, pure-souled sister of mine, in particular (a lock of whose hair I took from among my papers yesterday and found it as lustrous as when first taken from her perishing form), may have some message to deliver to one whose love for her is immortal. Leah, I want to whisper in your ear. Turn from the table and the sceptics who sit by, and lend me your ears. Last night, when my internal senses were playing their pranks, I had a dream of you. You were at your home, and my solicitude for the kingdom had led my steps to the _capital_ of the New Jerusalem. My best bow had been made to the Spirits, the last words to you had been said, and I was about going out of the gate, when I remembered an important omission: and turning just as you were closing the front door, I cried, 'Leah! Leah!' and awoke with your name on my lips; pronouncing it once _audibly_ after I awoke--just to see if you could come and answer me. But no response came, not even an echo of my voice from the walls of my room. Leah! Leah! I call again, and will you come? "Yours in the bonds of patience, "J. E. R." LETTER FROM WELCOME WHITTAKER. TROY, N. Y., February 24, 1851. "MRS. FISH: "I perceive, by the Buffalo papers, that you have had the unparalleled temerity to call public attention, in that place, to the manifestations of Spiritualism; and that, too, without so much as consulting for one moment the feelings, prejudices, or _scientific accumulation_ of certain of the wonderful Faculty there. Well, they pounced upon you as you might well suppose such (God forgive me!) _scientific gentlemen_ would, conscious as they doubtless are, that their position on the pyramid of all human knowledge is nothing short of the very cap-stone itself. Not only have they, in most _chivalrous manner_, arrayed themselves for your disrespect, but a masterly stroke, ingeniously given, shielded the public forever against such _gross trickery and imposition_ by an exposé of the whole thing! "O! never three luckier D(og)s together than the three M.D.'s of Buffalo, who in so short a time lifted the veil and exposed to open day the 'very mechanism' by which deluded thousands have been _led astray_, first by a course of negative reasoning, the parallel of which, I venture to say, cannot be found in all the annals of philosophic research. This of itself must be sufficient to render the names of Lee, Flint, and Coventry, at least _notorious_, if not illustrious.
