“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(See page 230. The object is a card, blank on the reverse side, written to Jane by Caroline Keck, conservator of the Brooklyn Museum; it was mailed to Jane in early August, along with a copy of the book, Is Your Contemporary Painting More Temporary Than You Think? and a mimeographed list of various addresses furnishing technical help and supplies regarding the conservation of paintings. The list was also compiled by Caroline Keck; the book by Louis Pomerantz.

(The equalization, Jane believes, refers to the book by Louis Pomerantz, that along with the object and the mimeographed list were mailed to her by Caroline Keck from Brooklyn, NY, in August 1964. All three of these items refer to the conservation of paintings. The title page of Louis Pomerantz’s book shows that it was published by A Chicago Chapter Artists Equity Publication, 332 South Michigan Avenue, Chicago 4, Illinois. Artists Equity Association is dealt with in the book’s forward also.

(“Several small letters or numbers, and a stamped card, from a distant place.” See page 230. The object contains small printed letters in the address in the upper left corner. It also contains numbers in the date. It is a card, but is not stamped; instead of being mailed alone it was enclosed in a small package or envelope with Louis Pomerantz’s book and the mimeographed list described earlier; and all addressed to Jane.

(“A connection with something bound, as a book.” Possibly the book by Louis Pomerantz, mailed with the object to Jane. Some distortion possible, as seen by Seth’s answer to the first question.

(“A very small image, such as the square or rectangle on the item.” This could be distortion arising from the object being similar to a postcard. But as stated the object was not mailed alone, and bears no stamp, etc, nor any marking like a square or rectangle.

(6th Question: Anything else you want to add? “A small box, and that is all.” At this date we cannot recall. The book, the mimeographed sheet and the object itself may have been mailed to us in a small box, or a manila envelope, etc.
