“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(The memo pad slip used as the 80th envelope object is printed in a dark chocolate brown on a paper that is a rather bright orange brown of middle value. It was folded once horizontally as indicated, although there were vertical fold marks in it also. It was placed between the usual double Bristols and sealed in the usual double envelopes.

(See page 216. The object was a memo slip from the Jewish Community Center in Elmira; from the desk of Gladys H. Austin, secretary to the Center’s director, Mr. Miller. It is printed in a dark chocolate brown on rather bright orange brown paper. It was folded once horizontally in the double envelopes, as indicated, although there were also vertical fold marks in it.

(On Friday, November 4, Jane called about a job teaching nursery school at the JCC. She was given an appointment with Mr. Miller for Tuesday, November 8, by Gladys Austin. On November 8, Gladys wrote out the memo slip used as object, bearing the name of Mrs. Methinitus, another teacher with whom Jane would work. The name is written in ordinary black pencil. Jane met Nancy Methinitus on Wednesday, November 9, and began teaching Monday, November 14 at the JCC. Sometime after Gladys Austin wrote out the memo slip on Nov. 8, the folded slip found its way into my jacket pocket.

(“A capital G.” See the copy of the object on page 216. The name Gladys H. Austin is seen in the upper right-hand corner of the memo slip; in capitals.

(“Alienate. Things separate from another. A going apart. Something by proxy.” Jane thought all this data an attempt to get at the name Gladys Austin on the memo used as object. Gladys, as Mr. Miller’s secretary, served as a go-between, Jane said, between Jane, Nancy Methinitus, and Mr.Miller. It was Gladys who finally informed Jane she had the job at the JCC, for instance.

(“A circumstance with unknown ending.” Jane said this is represented quite well by the object. When Gladys gave Jane the memo bearing Mrs. Methinitus’s name on November 8, arrangements were made for Jane to sit in on a class the next day, and to thus meet Nancy M., etc. Naturally Jane wondered how things would work out, etc., which bears on the next data also: “Someone wonders how something will come out.” Jane discovered that she and Nancy were very compatible.

(“A note and a sender who is not feeling well.” This is very good data. The note refers to the memo page used as object. It was written by Gladys Austin on November 8, at a time when she was not feeling well. She described this to Jane in some detail, explaining that the JCC had been so busy recently that the staff had been working weekends also. Jane remembers that Gladys also worked the weekend following—November 12-13, and then took Monday, November 14, off because of fatigue.

(“An arrangement that has similarity to a calendar page. A small calendar page.” Subconscious memory evidently plays a part here. Jane said the memo page used as object is much like ones she saw when she worked for an art gallery a few years ago. It was a book arrangement, with a calendar on one side and the memo pages opposite. She thought at first that the object might also come from such an arrangement; upon close examination, however, we can only tell that the object came from a pad that was bound at the top of the page; the edge there is slightly roughened, as though torn loose.

(At this time Jane cannot recall if Gladys Austin’s memo pad is part of such a calendar arrangement. She remembers a lot of papers on Gladys Austin’s desk, with the memo pad among them, but paid no particular attention to it.

(“One large dark numeral or initials, towards the top, perhaps in a corner.” Excellent data. See page 216. The large capital M of the word memo is in the upper left corner of the object, printed in a dark chocolate brown.

(The calendar data would be another reference to the memo pad and calendar idea explained earlier. In a more literal interpretation, as explained Gladys Austin wrote the memo to Jane on November 8, with the specific intention that Jane would meet Nancy Methinitus on November 9. This she did. See page 216.

(2nd Question: Can you elaborate on the capital G? “No. Ruburt now thinks of Grumbacher.” See the data on page 221. It is stated there that the capital G refers to the name on the memo pad used as object, Gladys H. Austin, etc.

(This data was obtained on December 12, 1966. The head silhouette idea wasn’t carried out however by December 21, the last class before Christmas vacation. Again, the connection is a good one, in that the data has to do with the class referred to through the memo slip used as object. See page 216.
