Ruburt’s own experience was also specific, in that his description of the place at which the Gallaghers stayed was highly accurate.

Now there is an emotional rapport, set up of course within some time, that exists between these persons. Ruburt is therefore able on his own to pick them up, so to speak, when conditions are good. This is a big help to me.

If you dislike the term emotions in this context, the word vitality may be substituted. I personally appreciate your interest, Dr. Instream, and we shall indeed succeed. Again, do not concentrate on an intellectual level, if possible. When Ruburt tries too hard, he often blocks material by losing spontaneity; and when you try too hard, you interrupt any communication, or at least make it more difficult.

While we are still developing, the specifics that we have picked up in these tests with others show me that Ruburt is developing as I would like. There is still of course much more to be done before we can operate with a predictable accuracy.

I am mentioning these points here, as they can help us. I may try varying a few conditions from this end. We shall see. Ruburt has himself gained some confidence as a result of our own tests, and also as a result of tests that he has tried on his own. One in particular that involved again Philip, or John Bradley.

It is an experiment concerning the recorder, somewhat along the lines which Ruburt had planned, but with certain innovations. There is no need to try the experiment night after night in succession, however. Three nights out of a week for a certain number of weeks should be sufficient.

Ruburt’s confidence, or lack of it, was a stumbling block at our end.

There will be another short-story sale shortly for our Ruburt.
