I am here, Nathan PIummer.

Let me say a word now. I am not his (Dr. Leslie R. Stone's) mother and can't write as his mother does, but I am grateful. too, for I now have some hope and a part of the cause is what he told me while on earth.

He may not realize just how the things that he said to me may have this effect, but they have. For when the spirits of his friends told me of what I may hope for, if I will only believe and try to get the Love that they told me of then, I think of what he said to me and it becomes so much easier to believe what these spirits tell me.

I wish I could write longer, but I must stop. I am hoping and some light has come to me and I am following Forrest, who I know was as great sinner as I was and now a very beautiful sinner. I am commencing to learn some of those Heavenly things in Hell but it is hard, as I said.

Your old friend,

Nathan Plummer

Postscript by Dr. Leslie R. Stone

I used to talk to Nathan Plummer when he was on earth of the great importance of praying to the Heavenly Father to fill his soul with His Divine Love, and he remembered what I told him. Forrest knew him when they both were on earth and were in darkness and suffering after they passed into the Hells.

Forrest wrote Mr. Padgett, and his band helped Forrest to progress and pray for Divine Love and obtained it and he became so much brighter. When Plummer saw the great change in Forrest's appearance, he asked how it was he was so much brighter in his spirit body. Then Forrest told him that he had written through Padgett for help and asked to meet a bright spirit that belonged to Padgett's band, and Forrest told Plummer that these bright spirits told him to pray for the Divine Love and some of this Love had come into his soul, shining through his spirit body, that made the great change in his appearance.

Plummer was so surprised to see this great change in Forrest's appearance and, as Plummer wrote Padgett, he knew what a great sinner Forrest was on earth. He then realized if Forrest could get out of the Hells there was hope without doubt, and it caused Plummer to seek by earnest prayer for the Divine Love and Plummer did and that enabled him to progress out of the dark condition into a brighter sphere.

As this message was written 47 years ago, I have no doubt both Plummer and Forrest must now be above the Seventh Sphere in the Celestial Heavens, where these Celestial Spirits are seeking and obtaining the Divine Love in increased progression nearer and nearer to the fountainhead of the Father with the consciousness of the certainty of Immortality.

Nathan Plummer Writes His Experience in the Hells: "It is hard to learn of Heavenly things in Hell."

I am here, Nathan Plummer, and I want to say a word.

The Indian tried to stop me, but your wife said let him write, and I am doing so.

Well, I am still in Hell and suffering, and I wish that I could die again, but I cannot and will have to stand it. I can't even be deaf (was very deaf when he lived in the flesh) so that I might escape some of my torments, for I am surrounded by the most hellish beings you can imagine, and I have to listen to them. It is no use trying to fight, for I can't hurt anybody, and they became more annoying when I did try to punch one of them.

It is awful, and so I regret that I did not listen and try to understand what the Doctor (Leslie R. Stone) so often told me when on earth, but now it is too late. I often hear what he says to you now in your conversations, but for some reason I can't quite understand and, besides if I did, these damned ugly spirits would knock all the understanding out of me. It is hard to learn what you call Heavenly things in Hell, and I am so unhappy and see no way to relief.

The Doctor's father (William Stone) talked to me and told me some things that were like what the Doctor told me, and I felt better when he was telling me and some hope came to me, but when I got back into my Hell and saw all the horrors and the shrieking, ugly spirits, I forgot, and the Hell feelings came to me again and I suffered. Oh, if I could only find some relief from these torments!

Well, I will try again, for I know that Mr. Stone is kind and wants to help me, but my trouble is that I doubt if he can, but I will go as you advise and try to believe that he can. I am very thankful to you and the Doctor and will try to hope - anything to get out of this place and away from these devils.

Your wife says I must stop. So good night.

Nathan Plummer

I, L.R. Stone was present when the above spirit wrote. I was well acquainted with him for several years before he died and often talked to him on the importance of getting the Divine Love in his soul. He was very deaf before entering the spirit world. After he wrote through Mr. Padgett, I told him to look around for my father who is a bright spirit of the Celestial Heavens. The spirit went with my father to receive help and instruction and has now made his progress to the Celestial Heavens.
