1886 Celia Thaxter letter extolling the virtues of Theosophical literature and the search for truth (to an unknown recipient).
“Clifford [House]. Feb. 9th 86
Dear friend: Thanks for your note. I am so fortunate as to have found a copy of "Five Years of Theosophy,” & wonderful & delightful it is. I was in luck, for I think it is the only copy in Boston, - for sale. Cupples & Upham are going to have Light on the Path with the notes in a few days, so don’t you take any trouble for me, my dear. I fully appreciate & thank you for your goodness, but I know what it is to be as busy as you are, & you mustn't take the time when I can reach the notes without your doing so.
I shall write to Mr. Gebhard [see note at end]. I am sure we shall none of us be sorry, my dear friend. Ida Bothe is so happy about it! I wish you knew her. She is a fine creature, deeply thoughtful, eager for the truth. I am sure you would like her. I hope to see you soon.
Ever yours faithfully Celia Thaxter”
