This letter from Gertrude Adams was composed on two different dates while Ms. Adams was traveling from Chicago to visit friends and family in Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York and New Jersey. It is addressed “Dear Teachers,” and Ms. Adams notes that she is enclosing a small contribution for the convention fund and she wishes Wolff a happy anniversary on his first “Fundamental Realization” some twenty years earlier. On the second date (August 7, 1956), she writes from Grand Island, N.Y., which lies in the Niagara River along the Canadian-United States border. She relates some of her interaction with old friends and recounts that their metaphysical discussions lasted until late in the night.  Ms. Adams also notes that she will be part of a round table discussion with a number of like-minded individuals, among whom would be the lecturer and writer, Henrietta E. Schmandt (whose works included the book, The Revelation of St. John the Divine).

A little over three years after this letter, Gertrude Adams would become Wolff's second wife. (4 pages)
