{{Style P-No indent|received it by post in the envelope which reached here on January 12<sup>th</sup> by post. If the matter depended on Mr. Eglinton only it would be a different thing, motives for fraud may exist in his case, but no one can suppose that Mr. Meugens and the gentleman whose letter was brought have anything to gain by lending themselves to such. Besides, the letter speaking of the darkness and coldness of January 15<sup>th</sup> bears in this case internal evidence of the truthfulness which can be verified; ''fogs'' in January are not so common as to make a hit probable. Then the sceptic must bear in mind that there are ''numbers'' of such transmissions of letters and other things, certified to by Spiritualists. And we have the letter just received from Mr. Eglinton, in this case there must be 10 confederates brought in, not counting Col. Gordon and myself. There is an absurdity in supposing that persons of ordinary honesty and sense, would take the trouble to contrive, even if it were possible, such an elaborate fraud. Even the worst people have some motive underlying their nefarious actions, what motive can any connected with this last phenomenon have in perpetrating such a fraud? And the only reason which exists for suspecting false play is, because such facts are too wonderful to be believed. This may not be the fault of the ''facts''.}} | |||
