“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(The 19th envelope test was held this evening. The test object was the front of an envelope mailed to us by Jane’s father last July. See the tracing on page 101. The writing was in blue ink on white paper. Note the error, 1985, in the postmark; I thought Seth might comment on this but he did not. The envelope front was folded once and placed between two sheets of Bristol, then sealed in the usual double envelopes.

Again it seems, as I believe one time before, he is in a room that is at least partially below ground level. With chairs, many chairs in it, of the straight-backed variety.

(Pause.) Whether or not this is a cafeteria I do not know, but he and others seem to be drinking coffee. (Pause.) He is dressed in a business-type suit this evening, with shirt and tie, standing up and talking to two other people.

He finds the conversation in some way inadequate. He is trying to get definite answers from a man who does not seem able to give them. The man is taller than Dr. Instream, somewhat younger, but not in the same department at the university.

The doctor looks at his watch. (Pause at 10:08.) He received a book by mail today, a biography sort of book, having to do with a personality of the late 1800’s. A medium.

He made a trip to his office, and spoke briefly with one man there. (Pause.) Again, some sort of connection with a small black box, very small. The top is black. I do not know about the bottom half.

(Jane insists that “A strip” refers to the beautiful long beaches at both Daytona and Ormond, which adjoin each other. Without going into personal details, we can say that Seth is correct when he refers to “A connection with an event that was not particularly pleasant”; this involved us and Jane’s father in Florida.
