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?
When a medium is present he sees you quite distinctly.
He saw you, not here, but at another place. Oh, it was
in London, another place in London, some time ago. He
was surprised to see you, and wondered how he could.
[Presumably the occasion intended was when Mrs. Kennedy,
who herself has power, was present as well as Peters.]
He can only think the things he wants to say.[20] [Then
reverting to his brothers' attempts at Mariemont.] "Tell
them to go on. I shall never get tired. Never! Tell them
to have patience. It is more interesting to me than to
them." He does not seem sure if he got anything through.
It is so peculiar. Even here, he is not always quite
certain that he has said what he wanted to say, except
sometimes when it is clear and you jump at it. Sometimes
then he feels, "I've got that home, anyway!" He has got to
feel his way. They must go easy with him--not ask too much
all at once. If they have plenty of patience, in a while
he will be able to come and talk as if he were there.
M. F. A. L.--Do you mean with the voice?
No, with the table.
More important than talking is to get things through with
his own people, and to give absolute evidence. He doesn't
want them to bother him with test questions till he feels
at home. It doesn't matter here, where there is a medium,
but the conditions there are not yet good. Tell them to
take for granted that it is he, and later on he will be
able to talk to them and say all he wishes to say. The
boys are so eager to get tests. When grandpapa comes, it
is to relieve him a little, while he is not there. He
doesn't himself want to speak.
Twice a week, he says.
