“Already some of the best and brightest minds among our psychologists have come to our assistance, and no paper in the world has a more talented corps of contributors.

The Editor and Medium Gerry Brown has thanked us for our help. Between Col. Olcott & myself, H.P.B., we have spent over a 1000 dollars given him to pay his debts & support his paper.
