(After the second foot of snow fell last weekend, the tenants of the house waited as usual for the landlord to appear with his plow. Drifts several feet deep had piled up in the driveway and against the garages. The landlord did not appear. Three days went by. It developed that he had thought we could shovel our own way out. By this time of course recriminations were beginning to fly back and forth by phone, although this did not involve Jane and me. Finally one of the tenants threatened to move, after feelings had been bruised all around. The situation was not without its comic aspects.

(By the time the landlord realized we couldn’t shovel our own way out, he couldn’t get his own plow into the driveway, nor could he hire help; everyone was busy. I was working overtime at my job also. I felt the brakes on our car needed adjusting so I wasn’t planning to drive personally regardless; this made it somewhat easier to be objective about the whole thing. I also decided that I wasn’t going to get excited about it in any event. Then yesterday morning it developed that the thermostaton the furnace was not working; we got up to a cold house, and this led to more telephone messages, the calling of a specialist, etc.

(The specialist, actually the man who keeps the house in good running order for the landlord, is a personal friend of his. While talking to Jane he mentioned that our landlord’s books had been called in by the Internal Revenue Service.

Now. There are difficulties arising, of a personal nature, concerning your landlord. He feels now that everyone is against him.

He is indeed in the wrong, but over tax matters, certain falsifications. Also certain procedures on the borderline, concerning the house in which you live. He is worried that the illegal tax methods in connection with his business will be discovered.

Nor, given his particular personality pattern, could he easily have avoided initiating these practices. He felt driven to them. He is aware of the compulsion with which he acts when finances are concerned. Since he realizes that he did not choose, consciously, to take these illegal steps, then he cannot understand why he should ever be penalized for them.

Nevertheless the fear exaggerates his morbid concern with his heart. He is somewhat like a wounded buffalo, and to some extent at least the wound was not self-inflicted, although he himself has aggravated it.

There will be some legal difficulties for him, with a March 1 5 date connected here. There will also be an illness for him, unless he makes some inner adjustments. Some difficulties also for his oldest daughter. Papers in connection with the landlord himself now, kept secretly, in a place not often used, within or behind an old desk. Perhaps in a basement, I think having a concrete or stonelike floor.

If he falls ill I believe it will be at a party-type gathering, at least with many people about. A fairly serious but not critical illness, possibly caused by circulation fluctuations. The difficulty showing up in a right leg, though the origin of the illness will not be in the leg. Something of the sort of a blood clot in the leg, that type of illness.

Some private papers hidden, mingled with old photographs in poor condition. Possibly he will have some kind of a visitation from his own father to warn him ahead of time.

The eldest boy also has suspicions. In many ways he is a severe child.

I do not seem to see a courtroom situation however, but a settling up, or an agreement to settle up. An admission and settlement of some kind, through a lawyer. Perhaps a penalty paid, but with no confinement. A lawyer convinces him to settle, and avoid going to court, and through certain manipulations this part of it will be taken care of. (Another long pause.) Some money will be borrowed. The hill property will be sold, or used for collateral. Stocks will be sold. He will not lose his own house because of this.

I believe his mail is late because of the storm, and that he will receive a letter from the Midwest, later than he would have ordinarily. The letter not entirely unexpected. Duplicity, or a dual manner, in connection with a man who wrote the letter.

If you are interested in any kind of evidential material, it is good to hold tests fairly regularly. Now. When you want to give Ruburt a vacation from them, this is quite all right. But because of his peculiar makeup the first, or first few tests after resumption are apt to be poor now, at this time, because he is apt to try too hard. He is not used to the touch enough yet. He loses the touch of it, and falls back on other layers of the self which are not reliable for this sort of data.

[... 13 paragraphs ...]

I am not a personal weather forecaster. However, you will get no appreciable amount of snow, I believe for ten days or so, though some perhaps this weekend, as Ruburt is fully aware since he heard that on the radio.
