The Mahatma Letters to A.P. Sinnett - 1923

By A. T. Barker

Letter No CXVIII

This is a fraudulent intrusion into private correspondence. Notime to even answer your queries—will do so to-morrow or next day. For several days I have noticed something- like anxiety in your lady's thoughts about " Den." Children's diseases are seldom dangerous even when somewhat neglected, if the child has naturally a strong constitution ; the pampered ones falling naturally victims to contagion.

I remarked her fear of carrying the germs of the disease home with her at Mr. Hume's the other day, as my attention was drawn to her by the ** Disinherited " who was on the watch. Fear not in any case. I hope you will pardon me if I advise you to sow up the enclosed in a small bag—a part of it will do—and hang it on the child's neck.

Unable as I am to carry into your homestead the full magnetism of my physical person I do the next best thing by sending you a lock of hair as a vehicle for the transmission of my aura in a concentrated condition. Do not allow anyone to handle it except Mrs. Sinnett. You'll do well not to approach Mr. Fern (?) too near for a time. 

Yours, 
K. H. 
Say nothing of this note to anybody.
