Dear Teacher,

Please excuse me for writing to you again. I hadn't intended to, but Dr. Felkin doesn't know what treatment to give me until you have said what you think would be best. We do not want to interfere with your measures, and I myself think that you know what I should do, and if you are allowed to give me your advice, it could be of great help to Dr. Felkin and also to me. My health has deteriorated somewhat due to this work (it is hard) and so I am going to stay with friends in the country until May 4.

In the esoteric field I have learned something in these last few days and had an experience today, and now I no longer have darkness in my soul, and from this side I could expect an answer with patience, but I feel obliged to ask what is best to be done under these circumstances for Dr. Felkin, my family, and myself as well.

We do not feel entirely sure about the occult side of things, in order to find the right path. It is always against my better judgment to ask you something, because it is always more work for you, but what else can I do? And this is really important.

Therefore, I ask you to send me a telegram, or to Dr. Felkin; his telegraphic address is Felskamm, London.

Miss Wilson can tell you more; it is so much quicker in English!

I hope this can be goodbye, my dear teacher! How can I thank you? Your pupil,

L. Edith C. Maryon.

(Today Dr. Felkin said that he has already said everything necessary about my health.
