CHAPTER XV.
NEW YEARS’ GREETINGS FROM MANY OF MY
DEAR SPIRIT FRIENDS AND NEAR RELATIVES.
The 29th of December, 1881, I received with many others the following communication:
“Good morning, my dear friends, for such I will call you, although I have never had the pleasure of seeing you in the body, but as magnetic attraction seems to be the topic, I will write a few lines to you. Some years ago I corresponded with this medium’s husband, and I had the pleasure of calling her my pupil, because her mediumship was so much like that of mine and my daughter Laura. I took so much interest in her and her future success, and predicted that she would be a wonderful medium in time, and now I come as her teacher to congratulate her on her success and to give her words of cheer, and to tell her that she has only ascended half way up the ladder of fame as a spirit medium; and, also, that I have come to-day by magnetic attraction, and will be here often to aid her in her development. With my prayers for you both and for your success, I bid you good morning.
“Judge Edmonds.”
The 2d of January, 1882, in the forenoon, came on the slate the following:
“Good morning, dear papa. We are all here with our happy New Year’s greetings—Emil, Charles, Gustaf, Mary, Julia, Grandpa and Grandma Helleberg, Grandpa Natt-och-Dag, Swedenborg, Madam Ehrenborg, Madam de Frese, and a host of others. Dear Emil forgot me; I am last, but I hope not the least, in sending you a happy New Year’s greeting. He says I am able to do that myself, and so I am, and happy to do so. Nothing affords me more real pleasure than to communicate to you. Wishing you many beautiful spirit communications this coming year, I bid you good day.
“Jennie.”
