Unpublished Messages of James Padgett.
Striving to get out of darkness
February 24th, 1917.
Received by James Padgett
Washington D.C.
Let me say a word.
I am not a very bright spirit but I am striving to get out of my darkness and into the light and have been much helped by spirits who have tried to teach me the truth as to the way in which I may get rid of the darkness and sufferings that have been mine for a long time.
You helped me when I came to you some time ago1 and I cannot tell you how grateful I am or how much I was benefitted by coming in contact with you and taking your advice. I merely wanted to say this that you may have some assurance that your work is real in its effect and that it is a truth and not the subject of any imagination. So good night.
James L Young
