2 have received a couple of letters from Ann Arbor, Mich., which throw a light (in more senses than one) on the legend of the sacred pole. There is a living luminous tree and mysterious light near Ann Arbor which has been seen by many observers of undoubted veracity and high intelligence. What had Moses' burning bush to do with all this? I shall send you the letters if you wish to see them, and probably in October, I can give you a personal introduction to my correspondent. I am sorry you are not to be with me in Boston; but I appreciate the force of all your reasons. Very sincerely yours, [[signature]] Washington Matthews. [[/signature]]
