Letter

Mr. Hannen Swaffer is one of the best known journalists in London. He was in the staff of Lord Northcliffe in the latters life time. Swaffer is an honest, truthful, clear headed man, and every word he says can be trusted. If he is satisfied that he is in touch with his old chief then one may take his word that it is so. I was present at some of the seances mentioned and can corroborate the account of them.
