MANY years have passed since my wife and I left the United States to pay our first visit to England. We were provided with letters of introduction, as a matter of course. Among them there was a letter which had been written for us by my wife's brother. It presented us to an English gentleman who held a high rank on the list of his old and valued friends. "You will become acquainted with Mr. George Germaine," my brother-in-law said, when we took leave of him, "at a very interesting period of his life. My last news of him tells me that he is just married. I know nothing of the lady, or of the circumstances under which my friend first met with her. But of this I am certain: married or single, George Germaine will give you and your wife a hearty welcome to England, for my sake." The day after our arrival in London, we left our letter of introduction at the house of Mr. Germaine.

The Will Levington Comfort Letters (2 volumes, 1920-21) are about theosophy and impacted many people, including Alice Bailey. Comfort connected Dane Rudhyar, a composer and astrologer, to Marc Edmund Jones, who introduced him to the study of astrology. Rudhyar married Comfort's secretary, Maria Contento.
