Ford replied that, as he believed in reincarnation, he would be interested to meet somebody who could throw light on his past... births. Miss Wilson spoke with the Mother. The Mother said she could certainly throw some light. It appears that Ford was eager to pay a visit to the Ashram. Unhappily, adverse circumstances delayed his coming. A little later he died.
