“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(Jane didn’t call last night. I spent the morning typing letters from Jane, Seth, and me for Maude Cardwell to send to donors. I also wrote Maude a letter of my own. I did no work on Dreams.

This was just another version of the American male’s conventional role.
