A Letter to a Visitor
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,
The Mansion, Richmond-hill, near London, April 28th, 1879.
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,
Dr. Carter Blake.
