The research and archiving of Mathew Franklin Whittier's literary legacy is complete, barring the occasional discovery. I have carefully identified and digitized well over 3,000 of his published works and about 50 of his wife Abby's. This is magnificent work--I can't even begin to explain it to you. You will get some idea if you realize that they created the original "Christmas Carol" together. Imagine what else they might have written!

This digital archive is supplemented by a significant physical collection, which has also been photographed. I have already proven that I am Mathew's reincarnation beyond a reasonable doubt, as documented in my two lengthy e-books and my print-on-demand book, "Reincarnation Can be Proved." This was all accomplished with my own private funds over a 16-year period, with the occasional help of one or another researcher (often, on a volunteer or stipend basis). During that time, I wrote several other books showcasing Mathew and Abby Whittier's life and works. They rarely sell, as I have not had funds to promote them.

I have used every legal and ethical low-cost means--including composing hundreds of individual letters--to reach out to reporters and academics, with limited success. I did succeed with paranormal podcasts, having reached the pinnacle in "Coast-to-Coast." That clearly created some exposure, but no direct results that I'm aware of. On the other hand, I have been unable to appear on a single literary podcast. You can help me by suggesting me as a guest to such podcast hosts.

As of Oct., 2025, I have completed work on a new project. With the help of AI, I completely transcribed Charles Dickens' handwritten draft of "A Christmas Carol," where he had redacted Mathew and Abby Whittier's original prose. These hidden words revealed a wealth of information, proving that he had not been the original author. I do not use the word "proof" lightly.

I have written a book explaining my findings, entitled "The Sacred Carol: Rediscovering the True Authorship of a Christmas Classic." I have taken great pains to make this book shine, and to make it fully professional. This, in part, I was able to do because I am drawing upon a $5,000 donation; and, because I can contribute some of the necessary skills, myself (writing, book formatting, photography and video editing). I have paid for cover design and one illustration.

Once all of this is completed, I will have limited funds for promotion. Any additional donations would go for this purpose. Unless and until I impress precisely the right person, who has the money and/or social prestige and is inspired to endorse the book--and who dares do so--how effective I will be depends very much on the funds I have for promotions. What's left of that $5,000 after production will go only so far. No literary agent will take on this book, because it's a gamble and they are only interested in a "sure thing." Therefore, I will be self-publishing.

If you believe in what I'm trying to accomplish, please donate what you can. I do understand that now is a time when a thousand worthy causes are calling for your financial help. I can only say that I am addressing one of the root causes of all these difficulties--the sacred having been swallowed up in the secular, which happened in reaction to dumbed-down traditional religion which for centuries had been covering it up. By revealing the spiritual core of the original "Carol," I am re-opening a window to the sacred--the sacred beyond traditional religion--the esoteric sacred.

Obviously I am not good at writng ad copy, and I am not good at sales. AI can act as an advisor, and I will be taking its advice, but I have not asked for its help with this page. I am just telling it like it is.

I would be grateful for your assistance.

Sincerely,
Stephen Sakellarios
