A.G. Riddle, Former Law Partner of James E. Padgett, Writes About Robert G. Ingersoll's Conversion

September 24, 1915
Received by James Padgett
Washington, D.C.

I am here, your old law partner.

It has been a long time since I wrote you and I have missed the opportunity very much. I know that you expressed the desire to hear from me, but there were so many other spirits who wanted to write, that I thought it best to abstain for a while and let them write. Soon I will come and write you a long letter and tell you of my progress and of some spiritual truths which I have learned. Well, I will tell you of them also.

What a wonderful thing was Ingersoll's conversion. And I must tell you that it was genuine, for now he is one of the most earnest workers we have. He does not belong to our band, but is working with us. He does not seem to be able to leave your grandmother whenever she is with us. He says she is the most beautiful spirit and orator he has ever heard. Of course, he expects Jesus, but his attraction to her is wonderful and beyond our comprehension. He will tell you himself sometime of how much he thinks of her.

Poor Perry is still in darkness. It is a hard matter to convince him of the truths of salvation, but we are all trying to help him.

No, but they are much improved in their condition and have considerable of the Love of the Father. I think that very soon they will be in the Third Sphere.

I see that you are tired, so I will not write more.

Your old partner,
A.G. Riddle
