{{Style S-Small capitals| Sir}},—At the risk of again bringing before the notice of Spiritualists a personal matter, I beg of you. to publish the enclosed letter received from a member of Council of the British National Association of Spiritualists, as I am ignorant how far he was authorised by the Council to write thus to an occasional caller at the rooms of the British National Association of Spiritualists. | |||
My acquaintanceship with Mr. Bennett was of the slightest and most official character; and so far as I remember, this was the first note I ever received from him. | |||
As a matter of fact, I have not, as was my custom, frequently visited the rooms during the last two months, nor was it my intention to do so, for reasons which are, I trust, intelligible to my friends. I can only call to remembrance two occasions on which I have stepped inside the rooms of the British National Association of Spiritualists since the date I have given. But on those occasions the traditional courtesy was extended to me by the officials in charge; and I hope that other inquirers will continue to receive the same.—Yours truly, | |||

{{Style S-Small capitals| Dear Sir}},—There is a feeling among some of the members of the B.N.A.S., and it is shared by more than a few, that the influence of your visits to the reading-room is to a certain extent prejudicial to the interests of the Association. I should feel very sorry for you to feel personally annoyed by any expression of the kind; and it is with the hope of avoiding this that I venture to send you a few lines, which I hope you will kindly accept in the spirit in which they are intended.—I am, yours faithfully, | |||
{{Style P-Signature in capitals| Edward T. Bennet}}. | |||
Dr. Carter Blake. | |||
