Maude Smith's Correspondence with The Mother

5 February 1964

Mother,

All last night I was with R, who was very ill. Most of the time I was lying down, but I could not sleep except from 4 to 6 this morning. Yet after only two hours of sleep, today I have been less tired than usual and less sleepy in the afternoon. Can it be related to the fact that all night long I kept calling the Peace? Or is it that the Force you were sending to help R gave me strength also?

Yes, obviously, you received well the Force that was sent to cure her.

Or perhaps I don't need as much sleep as I've always thought I did!

No—once in a while not to sleep is all right, especially when you are bathing in Force, but it would not do to make a habit of it.

My love and blessings
