I do not intend to let Ruburt in on any of my plans or intentions, as far as demonstrations are concerned. It is much better all around if he be kept clear of such knowledge. The last session with your friend went off extremely well, and I hope that he follows my advice. If Ruburt had known what was in my mind, he would have been nervous and self-conscious.

Therefore I cannot tell you in advance of any such demonstrations, and in the case of my advice to Philip the slight demonstration of what you would call, I suppose, clairvoyant knowledge had two purposes.

The advice itself was important. Philip’s abilities along the lines of electronics have not been developed to near capacity, and it was for his own good that I mentioned them. Then also the demonstration boosted Ruburt’s confidence in these sessions. That is all I will say about the matter for now. It is entirely within my abilities to produce such a plum as your Psychic Society is reaching for.

At this point it would be difficult for Ruburt to know of the possibility of such a demonstration before any particular session. I am not ruling out for now any foreknowledge on Ruburt’s part.
