Dear Price,

Your account of the Thompson seance was on the whole a fairly accurate one. You will find it narrated in short on p.50 of '[[Our American Adventure]].' Staffanson the explorer was with me and shared our united opinions as to fraud. It was almost ludicrous because my mother was very heavily built whereas Mrs. T. was a slim little woman. When T. was arrested immediately afterwards his people wanted me to testify on his behalf, and as I answered that I had satisfied myself that it was fraudulent, one of them published a long account in a N. York paper pretending that I had kissed the figure, and all sorts of nonsense. That was their revenge — but I of course at once denied it, citing my witnesses.

Yours sincerely,

A. Conan Doyle
