O. J. L--So when you want to get anything special through, just speak
to Paul.
YES.
O. J. L.--And sometimes I shall be able to get a message back to you.
Loud "YES."
(In answer to a question about which of his sisters were
at school with a specified person, the names of the right
two sisters were now spelt out:--)
ROSALIND.
[We generally spell the name Rosalynde, but it was spelt
here Rosalind as shown.]
BARBARA.
M. F. A. L.--Isn't it clever of him?
Loud and amusing "Yes."
O. J. L.--I never thought you would do it so quickly.
NO.
O. J. L.--Can you still make acrostics? [O. J. L. immediately
regretted having asked this leading sort of question, but it was
asked.]
YES.
K. K.--You are not going to make one now?
NO.
M. F. A. L.--Can you see me, Raymond, at other times when I am not
with a medium?
Alphabet called for, and spelt:--
SOMETIMES.
M. F. A. L.--You mean when I think of you?
YES.
O. J. L.--That must be very often.
Loud "YES."
[When a 'loud' YES or NO is stated, it means that the
table tilted violently, bumping on the floor and making
a noise which impressed the recorder, so that the words
"loud bumps" were added in the record.]
[I then asked him about the houses (of which he had
specified some identifying features at a previous sitting
through Peters on 27 September). He seemed to regret that
there had been some confusion, and now correctly spelt out
GROVEPARK as the name of one house, and NEWCASTLE as the
place where 'Mother's home' was. But I omit details, as
before.] (See p. 135.)
O. J. L.---Tell Mr. Myers and Mr. Gurney that I am glad to hear from
them and that they are helping you.
YES.
M. F. A. L.--Give my affectionate regards to Mr. Gurney for a message
which he got through for me some time ago.
YES.
O. J. L.--Now you must rest.
YES.
M. F. A. L.--One of your record sleeps.
Loud "YES."
O. J. L.--Good-bye, I will tell the family to-morrow.
YES.
O. J. L.--Alec especially.
YES.
M. F. A. L.--Noël will love to have his name spelt out.
YES.
O. J. L.--Well, good-bye, old man, we shall hear from you again.
M. F. A. L.--Good-bye, Raymond darling.
O. J. L.--Before we stop, does Paul want to say a word?
(Paul was then understood to take control, and spelt out:--)
HE IS GETTING ON WELL.
(We then thanked Paul for helping, and said good-bye.)
(_End of sitting._)

To complete the record I shall append the few annotations which I
made a couple of days afterwards, before I supplement them with later
information.
