OCTOBER 31, 1966 9 PM MONDAY

(The 75th envelope experiment used as object the employee record stub from Jane’s first check as a substitute high school teacher. Jane had of course seen it several times since receipt on October 28. The object is printed in black on green paper which contains a faint pattern. The green is itself a light tint. The large numeral in the upper right corner is in red. The back is blank. I placed the record between the usual double Bristols, then sealed it in double envelopes.

(Jane has called up the school board and taken her name off the list of teachers on call for substitute duty. Today, October 31.)

I do not know. Connection with a past incident at about that time, and a seeming connection with a 1967 incident yet to occur. February and October. And a foreign element of some kind.

(See page 141 for a copy of the envelope object, and the notes on the next page. As stated the object is the stub from Jane’s first paycheck as a substitute teacher, received on Friday, October 28. It is made of green paper, light in color, with a pale green pattern throughout. The printing is in black, with the large number in the upper right corner in red. The back is blank. The stub contains the amount of the check, tax deductions, the date, etc.

(“Connection with an encounter.” Jane said this is definitely a reference to her first day of teaching, October 11,1966. The object is from the paycheck for this day’s work. Jane said that although she liked teaching, the first encounter with a class is one to be remembered. She has had odd jobs teaching in the past, but never in a school system, in a formal classroom, etc.

(“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.

(“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.
