The postscript refers to Mr. Walker’s son, who resides in Crewe. I have examined a number of letters in the handwriting of Mr. Walker, senior, and find that the slip in spelling is such that he might make. A portion of one of these letters is reproduced on [Figure 21], and when compared with the psychograph alongside it should leave no doubts in the mind of the reader as to authorship.
It is perhaps unnecessary to state that the instructions given by Mr. Wm. Walker were carried out to the letter. The results of the short visit of the Crewe Circle to Buxton are best described by quoting an extract from a letter I received from Mr. Henry Walker:
“We (Mrs. Buxton, Mr. Hope and myself) went to Buxton on Wednesday, 9th inst. (August, 1922.—Ed.). Two sittings were held and four exposures made.
“The first exposure was made on mother, and gives a message from father to Mrs. Buxton and Mr. Hope, dealing again with the S.P.R. test and promising a puzzle.
“The second exposure was made on mother, Mrs. Marriott (an old friend of ours) and myself, and shows a very large face of father nearly covering the three of us.
“I developed each plate carefully and noticed the psychic light was much more keen than the daylight.
“After a rest of a couple of hours, we held the second sitting.
“The first plate exposed on mother shows a medley: a good photo of father and a lot of flowers or foliage and the feathers of a Red Indian friend.
“The second plate only shows a few lights.
