Scope and content
Announces that '[Walter?] Leaf is disposed to join' and that it only remains to fix a time. States that the period from 6 to 20 January suits him best. Declares that, on reflection, and for various reasons, he would like to cut off the possibility of his ever 'joining in the Fay business.' Feels disposed to leave Mrs Fay to Myers and Crookes, but adds that as a friend of Myers she will always claim his 'kind regards and service.' Announces that he wishes to undertake 'all the pecuniary liabilities as regards the Newcastle medium [Mrs Petty?] - except what Leaf contributes'. Urges Myers to concentrate his resources on Mrs Fay, whom he would rather keep as far as possible from communication with other professional mediums. Asks Myers whether he shall be in town on the following Sunday. Announces that he shall be at the Midland Hotel, 'having séances and arranging for the week after - but only for one night.'
