Last Letters from the Living Dead Man
by Elsa Barker
1919

Living Dead Man series, was written between February, 1917, and February, 1918. Then I lost the ability or perhaps I should say the inclination to do automatic writing. As this third manuscript was shorter than the other two, I had supposed it to be a fragment which would probably never be finished; and it was not until my publisher urged me to issue it as a fragment that I read it all over for the first time and discovered that it was really a complete thing, an organic whole.
