(“Eight.” Possibly the numeral 8 in 458 W. Water Street, our address. The only 8 on the object, although there are 28 other numbers on the object, including the denomination on the stamp.

(Jane mentioned the 4¢ postage stamp on the object; strictly speaking the stamp is not quite square, but if the stamp had been perceived clairvoyantly perhaps its shape was interpreted as a square.

(“A geometrical figure.” Again, the triangular design, topped by the square containing a dot, just to the right and above the postmark on back of the card. Also—are circles, regarding the postmark itself, geometrical figures? Such a definition also includes the rectangular postage stamp.

(“The color red.” The only thing close to red on the object is the 4¢ postage stamp, current series, bearing Lincoln’s bust. This is a predominant red with a bluish tint. Seth hints at another possible meaning later, but we believe the stamp is the object referred to.

(“Three people. The busts rather than full figures, as three heads for example. I only see the tops of these figures.” Our interpretation: Note that Leonard Yaudes addressed the object to Jane and me, after crossing out the name John. [John happens to be a good friend of Leonard’s, though merely an acquaintance of ours; Leonard evidently made an absentminded mistake in addressing the card.] The address line of the card thus contains three names. Above this line is the postage stamp, bearing the head and shoulders of Lincoln.

(Some confusion of clairvoyant images here could have led Jane to assign the bust attribute of Lincoln to the three people on the line below the stamp.

(Question: “What’s that about a geometrical figure?” “No. An equality. A balance. A balanced arrangement.” This data came after I had to repeat the question because of traffic noise. See the interpretation of the geometrical data page 313. All of the geometrical figures on the back of the object are balanced—the circular postmark, the small triangle and square just above and to the right of the postmark, and the rectangle of the postage stamp.

(Question: “What’s the color red connected to?” “I believe a circular object, though perhaps a dress.” As far as the object is concerned, it could be said the circular postmark is connected to the reddish postage stamp via the typical wavy lines of the cancellation.

(Jane, or Seth, now added two pieces of information that I hadn’t asked for: “The color purple I believe also.” We think this applies to the 4¢ Lincoln US postage stamp on the object. As stated earlier the stamp is printed in red ink with blue added. The resultant color can be called a purple, a violet, etc.
