all sorts of extremes and people have put up with him because he was Aiden, and it is a great pity; for no one is ever made better by always having his own way. When he shall have been through, the the firey furnace, tortured till his soul shall cry out in agony, then he will be a better man. His mother is impressed that he will suffer intensely that some great shock will come to him before he will get out of this wretched state of disbelief in everything that can not be seen and felt with physical eyes and hands. For one of his organization it is especially unfortunate that he should have imbibed these ideas for he needs and wants knowledge of a future life. I pray it may come to him. Now I don't write him anything I may say. He will think I am troubled to find anything to write about. I am counting the weeks, only a few more, and I shall have you with me. I long for the time to come. I will send word to Mrs. P. about your dress and now good night.  It is 12 oclock and all are asleep but your loving mother.
