Excerpt from The Last Miracle Towards the end of May 1900 the writer received as noteworthy a letter and packet of papers as it has been his lot to examine. They came from a good friend of mine, a Dr A. Lister Browne, f.r.c.p whom, as it happened that for some years I had been living mostly in France, and Browne being in Norfolk, I had not seen during my visits to London. Moreover, as we were both bad correspondents, only three notes had passed between us in the course of those years. But in the May of 1900 there reached me the letter - and the packet - to which I refer, the packet consisting of four note-books full of short hand, the letter also pencilled in shorthand, and this letter, together with the note-book marked I., I now publish.
