[2] A LETTER (dated Feb. 2d 1898) FROM MR ROBERT CROSBIE TO MRS 
KATHERINE TINGLEY 

"ROBERT CROSBIE 
24 MOUNT VERNON STREET 

BOSTON, MASS. Feb. 2d 1898 

Dear P[Purple, Mrs Tingley]: 

. . . I remember that the day I first saw you, I recognized you as 
the O[outer] H[ead] without hint or instruction as such, and in spite 
of the fact that I was not looking for a woman's form in that 
connection. During that day you and I were the only ones in the E.S. 
room, and you came and sat down at the table at which I was working, 
and told me a great many things, saying that you did not know why you 
told me these things but that it was doubtless for some 
purpose. . . . 

All is well here. We are steady, confident and patient, yet ready to 
act at the word. 

With heart's love yours 
as ever 
Robert"
