[... 1 paragraph ...]

(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.)

[... 44 paragraphs ...]

(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.

(“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.

[... 12 paragraphs ...]

(“Connection with three people and a fourth, separated.” Too vague. Jane said one interpretation could be that we know three other teachers personally; the fourth, separated, would be Mr. Clauss whom Jane met twice perhaps a couple of years ago. I have never met him.

[... 2 paragraphs ...]

(“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.

[... 6 paragraphs ...]

(“Numbers or mathematics.” The object contains many numbers. A mathematics connection that is possible: a friend of Jane’s who is also a substitute teacher told Jane that she had a lot of trouble trying to teach the “new mathematics.”

[... 15 paragraphs ...]

(7th Question: What kind of events? “Future events. Connected with past events.” This could apply to the object, since this employee pay record has boxes or spaces on it for the entry of moneys toward retirement, savings bonds, credit union, etc., for steadily-employed teachers. Jane had no entries in these spaces. Later note by Jane: Unknown to us at this time I was to end up with another teaching position, in answer to an ad I had not yet read.

[... 1 paragraph ...]

(9th Question: What’s that toreador connection? “A red and violent connection. High activity connected with a male, or repressed violent tendencies, in the situation.” This is also good data, and related to the envelope object in that it refers to an event taking place in Jane’s classroom on her second day of teaching. [The object represents Jane’s first day of teaching.] Briefly, a very violent scene was enacted before Jane and her class. A male teacher entered with a young male student in tow, and literally threw the student across the classroom in a violent fit of anger. The bout resulted from the student’s misbehavior in the hall.

(Jane said the teacher’s face was very red with anger, and that it was obvious he had a strong temper. Later that day she overheard two of her students talking, and they discussed the teacher’s bad temper, it being a well-known fact in the school. Jane discussed the incident with me the day it happened. It had made quite an impression on her, and of course took her by surprise.

(10th Question: You mentioned three people. Initials? “Masculine overtones. Perhaps two males in particular and a female. S, G, or J. These are I believe separate.” See the “three people” data on page 147, and the G and J data on page 148. Both of these deal possibly with teachers. Possibly the above data does also, though we cannot be sure. If so the initials do not tally.

(Two male teachers and a female were involved with Jane while she sought work as a teacher—Mr. Don Hennigen and Mr. Albert Ryerson. Jane cannot now recall the name of the female supervisor, whom she met but once, but doesn’t think the initials tally. Others could be involved here—as on page 148.
