Wallace was interested in mysticism. His early life was in the Presbyterian Church, at college he became skeptical for a brief interval, but turned again to what he called "the necessity of believing in God, imminent as well as transcendental." He began attending the Roman Catholic Church, but later switched to the High Episcopal Church.

Several journalists have written about him say that he had probed into Buddhism, Confucianism and other mysteries and beliefs of the Orient, and that he studied [[astrology]] and knew how horoscopes were drawn.

In the letters, Wallace addressed Roerich as "My Dear Guru." Roosevelt was referred to as "The Flaming One," [[Winston Churchill]] as "The Roaring Lion," Secretary of State [[Cordell Hull]] as "The Sour One," and Russia as "The Tiger." One sentence gives a taste of Wallace's prose: "Yes, the search, whether it be for the lost world of Masonry or the Holy Chalice or the potentialities of the age to come is the one supremely worthwhile in objective. All else is Karmic duty. Here is life." <ref>[http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1282/is_n14_v46/ai_15674708/pg_1 The Wallace case] - 50th anniversary of Democratic Party's Jul 21, 1944 selection of Harry S.

The letters contained such insights as "May the Light of Northern Shamballa lead you and the Guru and the true expedition toward the eternal glory of the New Age. May strength, power and righteousness surround you. I have no definite cause for worry but certain extraordinary warnings are manifest." In another letter, Wallace referred to some disciple of Roerich and said, "I have as you know an enormous respect for F whose whole being has been centered to serve the Masters. That also is the center of my being..." Worry about these letters and Wallace's erratic behavior led to the decision to replace him as Vice President with Harry Truman on the 1944 ticket.<ref>[http://www.usasurvival.org/docs/Wallace_to_Ayers_Communist_Progressive.pdf From Henry Wallace to William Ayers, Communists and the Progressive Movement], Herbert Romerstein, pp. 10-11.</ref>
