Kunz (the departed wife of Otto Kunz) in English, in the supposition, that she could not write English, while she was a mortal, and that also in the spirit world she did not learn to write English, that therefore to my English address we must receive some unexpected disclosures.  I wrote therefore while the medium Mr. Mansfield turned in the opposite direction, that he could not see, what I wrote:  “Charlotte Kunz, if you are present, please to write what you find proper.”  I folded my writing, that Mansfield could not see it.  He was soon entranced, and gave the signs, from which I understood, that she was the person who asked at 3 o’clock A.M. my assistance, and then the communication was written by Mr. Mansfield in a correct English style and correct orthography and signed “Charlotte Kunz.”  The communication contains characteristic marks, that the controlling spirit was intimately connected with deep mysteries explained in my German books, but that he was not the writer, but one of the company belonging to J. V. Mansfield’s guardians, wrote through him according to the wishes of Charlotte Kunz, but wrote so, as if she herself had written.  After the communication directed to me has been written, and Mr. Mansfield reduced into his normal state, I requested him, to copy the communication, and to give the original and the copy to me; because I was asked in the communication by Charlotte Kunz, professing that she was the writer, that I might write to her husband.  The handwriting of the copy was different from the original.  I preserved the copy and sent the original to Otto Kunz, with my handwriting, remarking, that that communication has been produced by his wife under the assistance of our leaders, that he, Otto Kunz, might contribute his share for starting the centre of our Peace Union.  I have quoted in my writings to Otto Kunz one of the characteristic notes testifying that the communication had certainly been produced under the assistance or control of my leaders.  And that characteristic note had reference to Dante’s Prophecy in the 33d Song of Purgatory.  I speak of that prophecy in the Epistle to which we are preparing the way.  I have explained also to Mr. Kunz several years before my meeting with his departed wife the substance of that prophecy.  I thought, if he at the receipt of that unexpected communication would remember my explanation of that prophecy and other testimonies of my mission, he would not be too hasty in judging about what he could not understand in the communication but would expect my farther explanation regarding my communication; because the explanation could not be given in a letter, and he was also not prepared in those circumstances to study the treatise in which that communication is copied verbatim, and the preparation for its understanding and its explanation is given, and that treatise would have been published instead of this treatise, if we would not have prefered this in the expectation, that this might be more congruous
