Mrs. Alice Gordon writes:
-----------------------------------------------------
At this hour we three - Colonel Olcott, Colonel Gordon, and myself, -
sat in the room which had been occupied by Mr. Eglinton. We had a
good light, and sat with our chairs placed to form a triangle of
which the apex was to the north. In a few minutes Colonel Olcott saw
outside the open window the two "Brothers" whose names are best known
to us, and told us so; he saw them pass to another window, the glass
doors of which were closed. He saw one of them point his hand towards
the air over my head, and I felt something at the same moment fall
straight down from above on to my shoulder and saw it fall at my feet
in the direction towards the two gentlemen. I knew it would be the
letter, but for the moment I was so anxious to see the "Brothers"
that I did not pick up what had fallen. Colonel Gordon and Colonel
Olcott both saw and heard the letter fall. Colonel Olcott had turned
his head from the window for a moment to see what the "Brother" was
pointing at and so noticed the letter falling from a point about two
feet from the ceiling. When he looked again the two "Brothers" had
vanished.
There is no verandah outside, and the window is several feet from the
ground.
I now turned and picked up what had fallen on me, and found a letter
in Mr. Eglinton's handwriting dated on the Vega the 24th; a message
from Madame Blavatsky, dated at Bombay the 24th, written on the backs
of three of her visiting cards; also a larger card such as Mr.
Eglinton had a packet of, and used at his seances. On this latter
card was the, to us, well-known handwriting of K. H. and a few words
in the handwriting of the other "Brother," who was with him outside
our windows, and who is Col. Olcott's Chief. ...
The handwriting on these cards and signature are perfectly well-known
to us. That on the larger card (from Mr. Eglinton's packet) attached
was easily recognized as coming from Koot Hoomi. Colonel Gordon and I
know his writing as well as our own; it is so distinctly different
from any other I have ever seen that among thousands I could select
it. He says,
"William Eglinton thought the manifestation could only be produced
through H. P. B. as a `medium,' and that the power would become
exhausted at Bombay. We decided otherwise. Let this be a proof to all
that the spirit of living man has as much potentiality in it, and,
often more, as a disembodied soul. He was anxious to test her, he
often doubted; two night ago he had the required proof and will doubt
no more. But he is a good young man, bright, honest and true as gold
when once convinced. * * *
This card was taken from his stock to-day. Let it be an additional
proof of his wonderful mediumship. * *"
K. H.
This is written in blue ink, and across it is written in red ink a
few words from the other "Brother" (Col. Olcott's Chohan or Chief).
