1916. The author, a newspaper man, explains that: The mystery of Patience Worth is one which every reader may endeavor to solve for himself. The sole purpose of this narrative is to give the visible truth, the physical evidence, so to speak, the things that can be seen and that are therefore susceptible of proof by ocular demonstration. In this category are the instruments of communication and the communications themselves, which are described, explained and, in some cases, interpreted, where an effort at interpretation seems to be desirable. Contents: The Coming of Patience Worth; Nature of the Communications; Personality of Patience; The Poetry; The Prose; Conversations; Religion; and The Ideas of Immortality.
