(In the 221st session Seth suggested we postpone our series of object tests with the Gallaghers. At the same time he described the object the Gallaghers were focusing upon in their home outside of Elmira at session time. Jane learned from Peggy Gallagher later in the week that the object was a miniature teapot. At tonight’s visit I had Bill draw an actual-size version of the teapot for inclusion in the record, and it is found on page 211.
(Seth’s data on this test was this: “... we shall give the impression of a rock or stone that can be held in the hand, that has a connection with the water, that is speckled, and gray, with an indentation on it... the word nondescript as applying to the Gallagher object.”
(Without indulging in wishful thinking, Jane and I thought we saw some points of similarity in the above data and a miniature teapot, namely the fact that the test object could be held in the hand, had a connection with water, and an indentation. Since this was Jane’s first such attempt with the Gallaghers, I was curious as to what Seth would say. He now told me that the rock or stone impression was his error, and not Jane’s, or Ruburt’s.
(Seth said he was not careful enough in sorting out his own impressions. He picked up accurately enough that the test object could be held in the hand, had a connection with water and an indentation—the opening in the teapot—but erred in the rock or stone terminology, the color and the word nondescript. Bill indicated the color of the teapot in his sketch, saying the object is anything but nondescript. Seth said Ruburt transmitted accurately enough the data he gave. He also said that we would conduct a series of tests with the Gallaghers, involving objects, and that they would be successful.)
