I am the speaker this time and shall survey this movement in a way which might interest you. If you do come make for door 15 and the assembling [?] so that I can ensure you good seats. There is always a great crowd. If you can’t come what about sending a good man to report not what we say so much as the evidence of a big popular movement’, printed letterhead, a little soiling and creasing, one page, 8vo. The letter probably refers to one of Conan Doyle’s talks on spiritualism, possibly on 31st March 1920. Geoffrey Hodson (1886-1963) was an occultist, Theosophist and medium. In 1921 Conan Doyle arranged for Hodson to come to Cottingley to examine the now infamous Cottingley fairy photographs and to sit with the girls in the hope that even stronger fairy shapes would materialise. In August Mr Hodson reported seeing wood elves under some beech trees as well as dancing fairies in the field.. (1)
