“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane told me that Fred Kardon was in to see her this morning. He’s going away for a week —to Florida—just when we may need his cooperation. Fred hadn’t heard from Pete, she learned. Jane said she explained some of the insurance situation. Fred told her that the other places had rejected her because of the ulcers. No one had told us this—not even Andy Fife. Fred said the insurance hassle is “a matter of writing letters back and forth.” Jane wasn’t sure when he was leaving, but it’s probably tomorrow morning, or even tonight. I’ll have Pete try to get in touch with him first thing in the morning.

(Then Pete gave me some surprising news: Jack Joyce has gone out of business in Corning, and is working for a convalescent home down in southern Pennsylvania, I think Pete said. No word on what’s happened with Graciella—I’d thought that match was one of those ideal ones. Pete is going to ask Carnevale and Niles if they’ll do our taxes. Another hassle, I told Jane.

(I gave Jan Stimson money for ice cream rolls for the staff’s Christmas party. Don’t know how much I’ll get back.)
