CHAPTER X
RECORD CONTINUED
I might make many more extracts from this sitting of 22 October, of which a short extract has just been quoted, because, though not specially evidential, they have instructive and so to speak common-sense features, but it is impossible to include everything. I will therefore omit most of it, but quote a little, not because it is evidential, but because what is said may be instructive to inquirers.
FROM O. J. L. AND M. F. A. L. SITTING WITH
MRS. LEONARD, 22 OCTOBER 1915
He wants to gather evidence and give something clearly. He seems to think that his brother had been coming here (looking about).
O. J. L.—Your brother will come to see you to-morrow. [He was not coming to Mrs. Leonard.]
Where is he? He got the impression that he had either been here or should be here now; he has got the thought of him. He has been trying to get into touch with him himself; he has been trying to speak to him. Seems to have something to do with Mrs. Kathie,[19] and he has tried to write to him. The trouble is, that he can't always see distinctly. He feels in the air, but can't see always distinctly. (To M. F. A. L.) When you are sitting at the table he sees you, and can see what you have got on. When he tries to come to you, he can only sense you; but at the table he can see you.
O. J. L.—Has he seen his brothers at a table?
No, not at the table. He sensed them, and he thought they were trying to speak to him; but didn't feel as if he was going to get near. It has something to do with a medium. Medium. [Meaning that they were trying to do without a medium.]
M. F. A. L.—When did he see me?
