“You will come again, won’t you?” Frederick asked, as the hour of my
departure approached. “I have had a bully time talking to the family, and
I can do better work now, because they are all happier, and all with me
in conscious purpose. It’s true that every bit of conscious co-operation
with us helps us, as well as you. So that ‘One for myself and two for the
Boy’ is not bunk, Dad. It’s the real thing, for both of us.”
With a final brief message to every member of the group, the last of
these L—— interviews closed.[10]

The experience at L——, while stimulating, was also fatiguing, and for
several days thereafter I was tired and dull, receiving with difficulty
the few communications that were attempted.
Tuesday evening, April 23d, two of Anne Lowe’s friends wished to talk to
her, but were told that she was busy and could not come. Mary K. answered
some of their questions, concluding: “Anne sends love to you both, and
says please come again soon. She is sorry she can’t come now.”
After giving me the twelfth Lesson, Mary K. had said: “That is the last
formal lesson. The rest will be given in other ways.”
“You mean through interviews and personal messages?”
“Not entirely. You will be given signed letters, by great forces.”
Afterward, she mentioned these prospective communications sometimes as
“letters,” sometimes as “talks,” but Mary Kendal told us, May 13th, that
this intention had been temporarily abandoned, as sufficient material for
the book had already been given. Evidently this decision had been reached
only recently, however, for an attempt to give me the first letter was
frustrated on the 25th of April, and a second period of confusion and
partial control by invading forces ensued.
During the morning, Mary K. prepared me for this letter, in a
communication written quickly and easily, as follows:
“Men will ask the theory of the letters that are coming to them through
you. This must be explained.
“As the Lessons have been given to me to deliver to the world through
you, so the letters that are to come will be given to me by the forces
from whom they come. The reason that they come through me is that I reach
you more freely, when you are alone, than any other force known to you
and therefore commanding your confidence....
“The Lessons came from great forces combined. They represent unity of
all purposes, and were framed by the co-operation and agreement of the
greatest forces of each constructive purpose, to reach the consciousness
of men in general terms of your plane.
“The reason that these forces do not come to you personally is that not
all of them can reach you as freely as I do. Your simile of wireless
telegraphy is a good one. It does not fully explain the connection
between you and me, but is as good an explanation as the progress
of physical science enables you on that plane to follow. The full
explanation will inevitably be possible, as physical scientists are
already beginning to work toward it.
