(We didn’t get to bed last night until 1 AM. By 3:30 Jane had had a series of three or four dreams—very pleasant in the main, containing “a prognosis, as though I’d made a good decision.

Then I bid you a fond good evening.

(“Good night, Seth. Thank you.” 9:55 PM. Once again, I told Jane the session was excellent—especially the material on this page.)
