(“The number 6. 6 PM, 6 as a date, we shall see.” Jane said this refers to the fact that in order to keep the job as a substitute teacher she must begin taking 6 credits a year at Elmira College, after she has taught a total of 40 school days. This is a New York State law.

(“A date. Perhaps 1963, and a scroll of sorts.” We believe this data goes together, although there is a date, October 27,1966, on the object. The scroll we think of as symbolic of education or school. In 1963, Jane talked to a class conducted by Mr. Clauss, at Elmira College, subject poetry. The college connection arose recently, because Jane also applied for a teaching job there, as well as in the Elmira school system.

(“Piccadilly Square.” We don’t know. Piccadilly Square, London, England, might refer to the fact that a professor at Elmira College, with whom Jane would like to work as an assistant, teaches English Literature and specializes in Victorian English. At this writing Jane is to hear from him any day about the job.
(“A city. Very distant connection with something like Cincinnati, Ohio.” A possible distant connection: At the end of her second day of teaching Jane was given a ride home by a next-door neighbor who is also a teacher. The neighbor is from Ohio, but not Cincinnati, which could account for Seth’s reference to “something like” Cincinnati. In addition, the neighbor had just returned to Elmira from a trip to Ohio, so the Ohio thought was mentioned in the conversation more than once. City is also mentioned on the object itself—City School District, etc.

(“Six again, I do believe referring to time.” Another reference to the fact that Jane must begin taking 6 credits a year at Elmira College, after she has taught in the public school system 40 days. Thus there is a time connection.

(“A C and a J.” Jane said this is valid data, if not as good as we would like. The J refers to herself. The C can refer to either Gene Cesari, an assistant dean at Elmira College, or to Bill Cieri, of the public school night-course system. Jane also cited the similarity in sound between Gene and Jane.
(“And an abstract design.” Jane said this is a valid reference to Bert Ryerson, superintendent of art in the Elmira school system. Bert first got Jane interested in teaching; he is also an artist, and paints abstracts.

(“A schedule of events, and an accounting.” Good data. Seth gets back on the track in the next sentence. The object is an accounting of Jane’s earnings, and a schedule of when she earned the money, etc., since it is an employee’s pay record from the Elmira school system.

(11th Question: What’s the 1963 mention? “I do not know. Connection with a past incident at about that time, and a seeming connection with a 1967 incident yet to occur.” See the 1963 data on page 147. As stated the date could very well refer to the time Jane lectured a class at Elmira College on poetry. The connection would be the teaching activity as related to the envelope object.
(“February and October.” Jane thinks it quite possible she spoke to the class at Elmira College in February, 1963. There is an October date, October 27,1966, on the object itself.
