Two pages, 8vo, bifolium, second leaf tipped onto slightly larger paper, minor staining but text clear and complete. Sir I am sorry to inform you that the Crystal which you sent to Mrs Royce has not answered its purpose, & is, as she assures me, of a very inferior quality, for its Spirit has never yet been seen nor any other spirits perfectly, & my Seer could not see any thing in it.
