SESSION 254

(The 49th envelope experiment was held during the session. The object was a sheet of yellow paper upon which our young friend Don Wilbur doodled various numbers and words on the evening of Friday, April 15. I found it while cleaning up after company had left, and decided to use it for an experiment. Jane told me tonight that she didn’t remember seeing Don make it. It was produced on the evening of the unscheduled 251st session. Jane ended up physically ill after this session, which saw very strong voice effects. There were five witnesses, excluding myself.

(The session was held in the front room. Jane began speaking while sitting down and with her eyes closed, in a quiet voice and with pauses.)

(“Four plus one.” The unscheduled 251st session was held on the Friday evening Don Wilbur produced the envelope object, April 15,1965. Present besides Jane and me were five witnesses—the Wilburs, the Gallaghers, and Ann Diebler.

(“…a connection with fire. Something bright, as in a flame color.” Jane and I are reasonably sure a candle was burned on the coffee table that evening, Friday, April 15. This because we had been discussing Seth’s apparent success in regulating the height of a candle flame on various occasions. These are listed in appropriate sessions. Incense is also burned, usually in a joking manner because we bought some we didn’t like. Jane, being a smoker, lights matches often. None of these interpretations may apply however.

Now. We shall shortly end our session.

We will answer Ruburt’s question as our next session.

(As to why Jane hasn’t dreamed of Seth himself, although she has dreamed of the sessions, etc. Seth states he doesn’t dream of Jane, either.)

I am sorry I did not get to it this evening. My heartiest regards to you both. Unless you have any particular questions I shall close the session.
