"Spirit letters", 1904-1905

 File — Box: 44, Folder: 14
Identifier: Subseries 5.1.

Scope and Contents

Folder contains 3 spirit letters presumably channeled through Laura (although in a distinctively mediumesque hand), in the style of automatic writing. They take the form of conversations with the departed Esme, and some of these addressed to 'Raphael' - presumably the angel. They give a heartbreaking insight into a mother's grief.
