My machinery was fairly adequate for the East--in great part, at all events.

But you went North and South, and West also, and, in addition, you essayed realms where commerce and purely real affairs have no foothold--worlds of thought, of spiritual import, of psychic phenomena--speaking generally, of mysteries.

As now and again I was baffled in my inquiries, I had to enlarge my mechanism, and to this end started--not in my own name, of course--some new magazines devoted to certain branches of inquiry and adventure.

Should you ever care to know more of these things, Mr.Trent, in whose name the stock is left, will be delighted to give you all details.

Indeed, these stocks, like all else I have, shall be yours when the time comes, if you care to ask for them.
