To the Spiritist Centers that we are to visit.

The number of centers we propose to visit, combined with the extent of the journey, does not allow us to devote to each one the time we would wish. We have judged it useful to make the best possible use of that time for instruction. With this object it is our intention to answer, as far as it is possible for us, the questions on which they desire clarification. We have noticed that, when we make such a proposal during the meetings, they generally do not know what to ask, and many persons remain silent out of timidity or out of difficulty in expressing their thought. To avoid this double inconvenience, we ask that they prepare the questions in advance and in writing, and hand us the list before the meeting. Thus we shall be able to classify them methodically, exclude repetitions, and answer in a more satisfactory manner for all, refuting, at the same time, the objections to the doctrine. To Mr. E. K.

I have nothing to do with the inscription of which you speak to me in your letter of August 2, dated from Guingamp, for a very simple reason: I have never been in Brittany. And I add that I have never known that Mane, Thecel, Phares of any other kind (see Dan. 5:25), as you call it. If it was able to produce in you a salutary impression, thank its unknown author. In any case, I shall have satisfaction in receiving you when you come to Paris, where, however, I shall only be back in the first days of October. It will be a pleasure to give verbally all the instructions you may desire.
