(The envelope object for tonight’s 35th experiment was a beer coaster that I picked up from our table last Saturday evening, at our favorite dining and dancing establishment here in Elmira. It was the one I had used. Jane and I met two young couples there by prearrangement, and we had much fun dancing. The coaster is made of heavy absorbent cardboard, so I peeled the top layer of paper from it. This contained the design, printed in red, without any unusual thickness to furnish Jane unwitting clues. It was sealed in the usual double envelope between two pieces of Bristol.

(Break at 9:58. Jane said she was dissociated more than usual. Her pace had slowed somewhat but been very emphatic, and her eyes opened many times. She had smoked, and sipped wine occasionally.

(Jane paused at 10:12, took a sip of wine without appearing to open her eyes, then gave voice to the last sentence above. She resumed her previous position. I have seen her reach out for objects often without seeming to look at them. She appears to have no memory of opening her eyes on such occasions; if she does slit them open I cannot tell, even from my position across a narrow table from her.

(“The edges of the object would ordinarily be sharp, it seems, but they are somewhat blunted.” Jane was perhaps more definite concerning this impression, than any of the others. She feels the sharp edges is a reference to the beer glasses depicted on the coaster: one can think of glass ordinarily as sharp-edged, but to be useful as a drinking vessel the material would have its edges smoothed, or blunted.

(“A connection with grassy land”, led Jane to say a connection could be seen with the envelope object after all. When she gave this impression, she had the mental impression of grain; thus her voicing the word grassy came from the mental grain. Jane had the idea, now, that the envelope object advertised beer, made from grain.
