_Nov. 24._ When the husband and sister came a few days ago she said she was glad to see them, embraced them, cried and is said to have spoken quite freely. To-day she speaks more freely than usually. When asked why she had answered so little, she said she could not bring herself to say anything, though she added spontaneously, “I knew what was said to me.” When shown a picture of her cataleptic attitude with hands raised, she said dreamily, “I guess that must have been the day I went to Heaven, everything seemed strange, things seemed to be going up and down.” (Did you know where you were?) “I guess that was the day I thought I was on the ship.” When the sister spoke to her, she seemed depressed and said, “If only I had not done those things I might be saved, if I had only gone to church more.” _Dec. 3._ Seems depressed. She weeps some, says she is sad, “There seems to be something over my heart, so I can’t see my little girls.” Again: “I should have told you about it first--I should not have bought it”--(refers to buying carbolic acid). She wrote a natural letter but very slowly. 4. There followed then a state lasting for six months, during which the patient was rather inactive, preoccupied, even a little tense at times. Sometimes she did not answer, again at the same interview spoke quite promptly. For the most part the affect was reduced, at other times she appeared a little uneasy, bewildered, or again depressed. She said that sometimes a mist seemed to be over her. Now and then spoke of things looking queer and she asked, when the room was cleaned, “Why do they move things about?” and she added irrelevantly: “I thought the robbers broke into my house and stole my wedding dress and my children’s dresses” (refers to the condition during the onset of her psychosis). In the beginning of this state, when asked about the stupor, she spoke again of the “ship” and about going “down, down,” but also said that on one occasion she heard beautiful music, was waiting for the last trumpet and was afraid to move. Moreover, she had some ideas referring to the actual situation which were akin to those in the more marked stupor period. Although she admitted she was better, she said on December 8 that she still had queer ideas at times, “I sometimes think the doctor is Uncle Jim” (long dead). She also spoke of other patients looking like dead relatives, and added, “Are all the spirits that are dead over here?” “We never die here, the spirits are here.” But after that date no such ideas recurred, in fact this whole period seems to have been remarkably barren of delusions. Exceptionally isolated ones were noted. Thus, on
