“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(On June 27 Jane had received a letter from Tam Mossman at Prentice-Hall, requesting information on Dr. Instream, Dr. Bernard, both psychologists; and on Ray Van Over. We had talked over the best way to answer the letter, and had made some notes to that end today. But these were unsatisfactory; so much could be said that, once again, answers to what seemed like simple questions could expand with a life of their own.

(Before the session tonight Jane and I discovered during our conversation that each of us had toyed with the idea of asking Seth to answer the letter. This has never been done before by us. Still, we didn’t make any formal request that Seth write such a letter. We sat for the session as usual at 9 PM, waiting to see what developed.

Would you then take the following letter addressed to Mr. Mossman and Miss Carr, jointly? I will leave it to you to provide the business address.

Now, the letter:

May this letter serve to introduce us. I am Seth. Since matters pertaining to me are at issue here, then I feel I would like to make a few comments of my own, and take it upon myself to answer your last letter, sent to Jane Roberts.

Dr. Gene Bernard has received some excellent material from me, both in the realm of psychological interpretation, and clairvoyant impressions. I had a session for him at his wife’s request when he was ill, and in Ruburt’s files his answering letter attests to the correctness of my interpretations and impressions.

I have been a teacher primarily. Business letters are not my line. (Amused.

However, I did want to contact you myself on my friend’s behalf. (Meaning Jane.) I do suggest, now, a meeting in Elmira, at which time any questions you have can be answered without the necessity for long and complicated letters.

Give us a moment. You may delete that phrase from the letter. (Leaning forward; confidential and amused, eyes open.)

You may sign the letter Seth, and initial it yourself. (Humorously.

You may or may not append that to the letter, as you prefer. (To me:) This will be an exceedingly brief session. Do you have any questions, Joseph?
