"Wishing you a pleasant and successful visit to Cleveland, I am "Your most ob't servant, "J. HEDDON." "STAFFORD, May 9, 1851. "You are aware that, for the first time, I had manifestations on my person of the presence of Spirits at your house on Thursday last, after which I received the following communication from my Spirit friends. My wife thus addressed me: "'My dear: I am with you always; in the silent hour of midnight, when all is quiet, I rest upon your bosom and bless you, and keep you safe.' "_Message to her Child._--'Teach her to know her mother watches over her; tell her she has a mother "still living," teach her to know that death hath no terror--the transition from Earth to Heaven is past description; we shall all be again united. All is well.' "The Spirit of my father then said: 'I sanction all she has said--the Truth will rise triumphant--the cause is good. God rules victorious.' "In answer to a question whether I should have manifestations at home, my wife replied, 'I will make sounds upon your pillows.' "The Spirit of a recently departed brother said, 'Tell her (our mother) I thought of her when I was dying, and desired to see you all, but when my soul was released I came to your abode, and was greatly delighted with my privileges. Things will change with you, and you will rejoice and know the truth.' "The numerous test questions I kept no record of, and consequently they are omitted here. "J. HEDDON. "N. B. My brother died far away from home, which accounts for the above message to his mother." S. CHAMBERLAIN. "LE ROY, N. Y., May 10, 1851. "MRS. A. L. FISH: "I herewith annex a copy of an account of some incidents which occurred at your house on the 7th inst. The following _mental_ questions were asked and replied to by the Spirits in the usual manner. "I asked if the Spirit I then had in my mind were present? Answer, 'Yes.' "I then asked if the Spirit would give me a message. The alphabet was called for and the following was spelled out: "'I used to oppose the subject. I departed this life within the last year; I am convinced of the reality of these things now. I visited Mrs. Fish soon after I left the mortal body, and was pleased with my interview. I scorned the idea of visiting her when I lived on earth, but now I am delighted to call occasionally and listen to the communications. I wish I had known something more about these things before I left the earth.' "I asked him to give me the letters of his name; which he did. This I considered a good test, as no one present could know whom I had in my mind; and the fact of his death and opinions on this subject were true, as I had been intimately acquainted with him for a period of twenty years, and had had many interviews with him on the subject.
