I can't help feeling intensely interested. I believe we
have lost Greece, and am not sure that it was not due to
our own fault. We have only done now what should have
been done months ago.
He does not agree about Serbia. Having left them so long
has had a bad effect upon Roumania. Roumania thinks will
she be in the same boat, if she joins in.
All agree that Russia will do well right through the
winter. They are going to show what they can do. They are
used to their ground and winter conditions, and Germany
is not. There will be steady progress right through the
winter.
I think there is something looming now.
Some of the piffling things I used to be interested in,
I have forgotten all about. There is such a lot to be
interested in here. I realise the seriousness sometimes of
this war.... It is like watching a most interesting race
or game gradually developing before you. I am doing work
in it, which is not so interesting as watching.
L. L.--Have you any message for home?
Of course love to his mother, and to all, specially to
mother. H. is doing very well. [Meaning his sister Honor.]
L. L.--In what way?
H. is helping him in a psychic way; she makes it easy for
him. He doesn't think he need tell father anything, he is
so certain in himself meaning Raymond, in spite of silly
mistakes. It disappoints him. We must separate out the
good from the bad, and not try more than one form; not the
jig--jig----
L. L.--I know; jigger. [A kind of Ouija.]
No. He didn't like the jigger. He thinks he can work the
table. [See Chapter XIX.]
L. L.--Would you tell me how I could help in any way?
Just go very easily, only let one person speak, as he has
said before. It can be H. or L. L. Settle on one person to
put the questions, the different sound of voices confuses
him, and he mixes it up with questions from another's
thoughts. In time he hopes it will be not so difficult.
He wouldn't give it up, he loves it. Don't try more than
twice a week, perhaps only once a week. Try to keep the
same times always, and to the same day if possible.
He is going.
Give my love to them all. Tell them I am very happy. Very
well, and plenty to do, and intensely interested. I did
suffer from shock at first, but I'm extremely happy now.
I'm off. He won't say good-bye.

A lady comes too: A girl, about medium height; on the
slender side, not thin, but slender; face, oval shape;
blue eyes; lightish brown hair, not golden.
L. L.--Can she give a name--I cannot guess who she is from the
description?
She builds up an L.
Not like the description when she was on earth. Very
little earth life. She is related to you. She has grown up
in the spirit life.
Oh, she is your sister!
She is fair; not so tall as you; a nice face; blue eyes.
L. L.--I know her name now. [See at a previous sitting where this
deceased sister is described, p. 159.]
