General Waddy Thompson was a widower when I first knew him (he had met my mother and sisters in Washington, in 1852). Subsequently he attended my séances frequently. On the occasion I now speak of (in the fall of 1857), he called to make an engagement with me to see him and his young, second wife, who was an invalid. As they were going to start for home the next morning, he wished to come that afternoon. It was cold, and the snow and frozen rain came down heavily, but at the appointed time a carriage drove to the door, and Mrs. Thompson was carried into the house by two men. She was beautiful alike in person and in character. Her lameness and great suffering, which she had endured for over four years, had had their origin in milk fever, which had settled in her leg, and had baffled the skill of the most renowned physicians of Europe and America. The manifestations of Spirit presence came freely, and very soon Mrs. Thompson cried out, "Oh! something is taking hold of my limbs with hands!" The General begged her to sit still, saying, "Do not stir, my dear; it is your Spirit guardian who loves you." She wept and called on her mother's Spirit to come, saying, "Dear mother, I want you to go with me where I go, and watch over us all." Mrs. Thompson was cured, and walked back without difficulty from Ludlow Place to the St. Nicholas Hotel. Two years later, in 1859, she and her lovely sister, Miss Jones, accompanied the General to New York, and on learning that it was our reception night, came to enjoy the evening with us, and related the circumstances before a very large party. III. WIFE OF MR. DAVIS, OF PROVIDENCE, R. I. The third I save myself the trouble of writing by copying it from Robert Dale Owen's "Debatable Land," page 513. But in doing so I correct an error of _date_ which was natural enough on the part of Mrs. Davis in a narration made in 1862 of an occurrence which had taken place some five years before. In point of fact it occurred in 1857, while I resided in my house, No. 1 Ludlow Place. She erroneously makes it February, 1858, instead of 1857. My marriage with Mr. Underhill was on the 2d of November, 1858. Of course I was not "Mrs. Underhill," but Mrs. Brown, at the time of this extraordinary cure; though it was natural that Mrs. Davis in 1862 should speak of me by the name which had then been mine for about four years; and also that this should have misled Mr. Owen, and caused him to understand the case as having occurred after I had become Mrs. U. The reader will therefore, in perusing this narrative, simply change the word "Underhill" to Brown. With that unimportant correction, the whole of it is strictly true. See letter from Mrs. Davis to me, written on her return home from this visit, dated August 8, 1857, page 391. _Paralysis of the Motor Nerve._ "In the month of February, 1858, a lady, the wife of Mr. Davis, of Providence, R. I., was residing at her home in the immediate vicinity of that city.
