This P.M. I leave the College and when I go again it must be to stay. Sometime you will know you have turned away your best friend and without cause and will see the workings of Mesmerism in it as you do not now - I only hope for your own sake this may be soon –

Mesmerism never has revealed anything to me against itself it hides the evil that it does instead of saying it is the cause - I have had the moral courage to say here what others know and are afraid to speak

It is only because I have seen the cause that I have stayed and gone on as I have – I could not have done it otherwise –

I have lately been working very hard in meeting the lies of mesmerism against you both in public and mentally – And this is what I am meeting in consequence of it – But they know very little who they are dealing with if they think I am to be stopped in any such way I shall only work harder

I shall talk you as I see you and know you the - one beyond all others in all that is good –

Will speak with you when I am ready to start
