At the time of this visit I expected nothing of the kind, as they were busy preparing for a long journey. The husband was not home from his office, and the wife came in soon after my arrival, met me in the parlor, and sat down by the window, talking pleasantly of daily affairs. She soon said: "I see by you a Quaker woman. She says she thinks as much of you as ever. She is feeble from age, not disease, and her life on earth was marked by a constant and remarkable benevolence. " Other details of ...description made me know the person and ask her name. It was given after some delay — other persons being described meanwhile — as "Amy Post, Rochester, New York, " with a special personal message for me to carry to one of her family. Before this a sister of mine had been so described that I knew her, and then her name, Emeline, given as having been in the spirit-world a long time, which was correct. A man of marked and peculiar beauty was then de- scribed as wishing me to know him — tall, spare, of a fine and delicate organization, in poor health, and thought of by all who knew him, or heard him preach, as a saint — of heaven more than of earth.
