I am here, Elias the prophet:
I am a stranger to you, but you are not to me for I know all about you and the great work you are doing and will have to do.
I understand that you are tired tonight and I will not write more. I only wish to say that when the opportunity presents itself I should like to write you a message so that I may not be left from the Book of Truths which you shall publish.
Well, I am glad that you feel that way. I am your brother and friend and a follower of the Master. I am in the Celestial Spheres in a place very near the highest spirits who are my associates. I will write to you fully when I come.
With my love and blessing, I will say goodnight.
Elias
