Washington D.C.
I am here, James G. Blaine:
I am here to tell you that you are a wonderful medium, and that you will do a great deal of good before you die.
Well, I have been with you at times of your writings and have seen what messages you received, and what effect the communications have had on the spirits, as well as on yourself and friends.
I am in the fourth sphere and am happy in a way, but I need more happiness and more light, and I will try to get these things.
I am engaged in intellectual pursuits that are congenial to me, and I also take great interest in the affairs of your country, and try to influence its rulers to do the right thing at the right time.
I have met many spirits since I came over and have made acquaintances with them. They are all very wonderful spirits in their understanding of the laws of nature and kindred subjects, and I learn a great deal from them.
I merely wanted to introduce myself to you and let you know that I am alive.
Well, I believe more in the intellect than in religious matters, and I don't seek the other spirits that you mention. I have no special interest in them.
I will not write more tonight.
James G. Blaine.
