The Author of "The Stars & the Earth." {it is an English book, and as I judge some three or four years old;} he seems up with the conclusion established by proof that Time & space are not really actually necessary existences. They are simply our finite "modes of observation", the methods by which finite beings only perceive the universe. Time is not necessary. The events of thousands of years may be compressed into a Second, compressed infinitely. In fact the Second is exactly as long as the thousand years compared with "Eternity". Space is not necessary. The whole universe may be reduced to a point infinitely small, and all its parts remain as perfect. That point too is exactly as large as all the Universe of Worlds we can conceive of when compared with "Space." Well! it is! Get the Book and read it. I believe it costs only $0.125, ninepence.

Nov. 25th. Why do you not write? Seems to me it is a good long while since I have heard from you, or any indeed of our folks. I am getting anxious to hear of the Success & progress of the Water Cure in Waterford. etc. etc. which I am constantly expecting to find in your letters. I have been somewhat hoping to get away from this place about Thanksgiving time. Even if I could not get time to go down East, I might go to Massachusetts for 24 or 36 hours, but the Thanksgiving Week; that is out of N.H. comes just when I am especially confined to my plan by stress of Track laying in my own immediate vicinity: so that it is doubtful if I can at all stir away: even if I had any money.
