I am well, and living on asses' milk by way of sustaining the mental calibre; yes, and able to have _tete-a-tetes_ with Theodore Parker, who believes nothing, you know, and has been writing a little Christmas book for the young just now, to prove how they should keep Christmas without a Christ, and a Mr.Hazard, a spiritualist, who believes everything, walks and talks with spirits, and impresses Robert with a sense of veracity, which is more remarkable.

I like the man much.

He holds the subject on high grounds, takes the idea and lives on it above the earth.

For years he has given himself to investigation, and has seen the Impossible.
Certainly enough Robert met him and conversed with him, and came back to tell me what an intelligent and agreeable new American acquaintance he had made, without knowing that he was Hazard the spiritualist, rather famous in his department....

Don't fall out of heart with investigation.
It takes patient investigation to establish the number of legs of a newly remarked fly.
