“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(I believe the “well” in Wellsburg, also implying water and thus stern, worked in the same manner here. In addition the first name of the owner of the lumberyard in Wellsburg, which furnished the object, is named Glenn; associating thus with Enfield Glen, or Robert H. Treman State Park near Ithaca, NY.

(“Connection with an event not repeated.” I bought two sheets, 4 x 8 feet, at the lumberyard in Wellsburg on July 15. Since this particular kind of Masonite is hard to find and the Schuyler lumberyard had a good supply, I decided to return to Wellsburg on Saturday, July 23, to buy two more full sheets. But in the interim I figured out a method to coat the Masonite for paintings that obviated the use of any special kind of Masonite, and thus did not return to Wellsburg.

(The death connection enters in because the bill was filled out by the worker at the lumberyard who obtained and cut the Masonite so it would fit into our station wagon. The worker—whose name we do not know, but could easily learn—became quite talkative when he learned I planned to use the Masonite as support for paintings. He described to us in some detail how he had a portrait of himself drawn during the Second World War, when he was overseas. War…death. The conversation was unusual in that the worker explained how the artist drew his face as though it was symmetrical, whereas in reality it is quite asymmetrical, with an impaired eye.

(“A word beginning with an M.” The middle initial of the proprietor of the lumberyard: Glenn M. Schuyler, shown in large red type on the bill. Another M enters in later. There is a chance here that Seth did not mean an initial. In this event, it can be said we made the trip to Wellsburg for the express purpose of buying Masonite.

(The object shows I bought two full sheets of Masonite, each one 4 x 8 feet in dimension. The worker previously mentioned at the lumberyard cut the sheets in half so that we could load them into the car. This gave four pieces of Masonite, each one of which was four feet square.

(“A tournament, perhaps symbolic. A crossing, as of swords.” Jane was sure this referred to the story told us by the worker at the lumberyard, who procured the Masonite for me, concerning his war service, his portrait, etc., done while he was in the service. The worker made out the bill which served as object.

(“An oval shape, or eye shape—that is, this kind of an eye, you see, inside of a rectangle or triangle.” Jane pointed to her own eye while giving this data. It is very good. As stated earlier the worker at the lumberyard who procured the Masonite for me, then made out the bill used as object, had a bad eye. It will be recalled that the worker described a portrait drawn of him while he was in the service; and that the artist making the portrait drew him with a symmetrical face, whereas his face is decidedly not symmetrical.

(“1966, also looking to 1967.” Note the box on the front of the bill bearing the words Account forwarded. Since I bought the Masonite in 1966, and presumably would keep an account going at the lumberyard, any sum due would be carried over into 1967.

(“Connection with a photograph, I believe, or other object with triangular corners that photographs usually fit into in an album.” As stated earlier the worker at the lumberyard described a portrait drawn of him overseas. This basic information perhaps led to the above data, but we believe the following is more likely correct.

(Jane had an image of a photo of the two of us, taken at Enfield Glen. Remember that she wanted to go to the Glen on July 15, rather than to the lumberyard in Wellsburg to buy Masonite. No photos of us have been taken at the Glen in recent years. Also, the Glen idea links up with the proprietor of the lumberyard, Glenn M. Schuyler.

(First Question: “Can you say something about the March date?” “March, progress, march along. An event in March, that led to similar events while the original one was not repeated. I believe the letter G is somehow connected with this event.” We still could make no connections for this data, and I did not ask Seth to explain. Jane had a mental image of a single G, nothing else. There is Glenn on the bill used as object, but this wouldn’t refer back to March; our July visit was our first ever to this particular lumberyard.
