Letter No III

Letter III A
I saw K.H. in astral form on the night of igth of October, 1880—wakingup for a moment but immediately afterwards being rendered unconscious again(in the body) and conscious out of the body in the adjacent dressing-room whenI saw another of the Brothers afterwards identified with one called '* Serapis "by Olcott,—" the youngest of the chohans." The note about the vision came the following morning, and during thatday, the 20th, we went for a picnic to Prospect Hill, when the " pillowincident " occurred.

My Good " Brother," In dreams and visions at least, when rightly interpreted therecan hardly be "an element of doubt." I hope to prove to youmy presence near you last night by something I took away withme. Your lady will receive it back on the Hill. I keep no pinkpaper to write upon, but I trust modest white will do as well forwhat I have to say.^ ^. ,. t o KooT HooMi Lal Singh.

LETTER No. IIIB

My " Dear Brother," 
This brooch No. 2 is placed in this very strange place simplyto show to you how very easily a real phenomenon is producedand how still easier it is to suspect its genuineness. Make of it what you like even to classing me with confederates.

The difficulty you spoke of last night with respect to the inter-change of our letters I will try to remove. One of our pupils willshortly visit Lahore and the N.W.P. and an address will be sentto you which you can always use ; unless, indeed, you really would prefer corresponding through—pillows. Please to remark that the present is not dated from a '* Lodge " but from a Kashmir valley. 
Yours, more than ever, 
KooT HooMi Lal Singh

LETTER No. IIIc. 
A few words more : why should you have felt disappointed at not receiving a direct reply to your last note? It was received in my room about half a minute after the currents for the production of the pillow dak had been set ready and in full play. And—unless I had assured you that a man of your disposition need have little fear of being " fooled "—there was no necessity for an answer. One favour I will certainly ask of you, and that is, that now that you—the only party to whom anything was ever promised—are satisfied that you should endeavour to disabuse the mind of the amorous Major and show to him his great folly and injustice.
 Yours faithfully, 
KooT HooMi Lal Singh
