I see the figure 3 so plainly--can't you find a meaning
for it?
(L. L. suggested 3rd Battalion, and 'Moonstone'
continued:--)
He says "Yes"--and wasn't he officially put down on
another one? [Perfectly true, he was attached to the 2nd
Battalion at the Front, to the 3rd or reserve Battalion
while training.][15]
He says: "Don't forget to tell father all this."
His home is associated with books--both reading and
writing books. Wait a minute, he wants to give me a word,
he is a little impatient with me. Manuscripts, he says,
manuscripts--that's the word.
He sends a message, and he says--this is more for
father--"It is no good his attempting to come to the
medium here, he will simply frighten the medium for all
he is worth, and he will not get anything. But he is not
afraid of you, and if there is communication wanted with
this man again, _you_ must come."
You have several portraits of this boy. Before he went
away you had got a good portrait of him--2--no, 3. [Fully
as many as that.]
Two where he is alone and one where he is in a group of
other men. [This last is not yet verified.][16]
He is particular that I should tell you of this. In
one you see his walking-stick ('Moonstone' here put an
imaginary stick under his arm). [Not known yet]
He had particularly strong hands.
When he was younger, he was very strongly associated with
football and outdoor sports. You have in your house prizes
that he won, I can't tell you what. [Incorrect; possibly
some confusion in record here; or else wrong.]
Why should I get two words--'Small' and 'Heath,'
[Small Heath is a place near Birmingham with which he had
some but not close associations.]
Also I see, but very dimly as in a mist, the letters B I
R. [Probably Birmingham.]
You heard of either his death or of his being hurt by
telegram.
He didn't die at once. He had three wounds.
I don't think you have got details yet. [No, not fully.]
If he had lived he would have made a name for himself in
his own particular line.
Was he not associated with chemistry? If not, some one
associated with him was, because I see all the things in a
chemical laboratory.
[The next portion has already been reported in Chapter III, but I do
not omit it from its context here.]
That chemistry thing takes me away from him to a man in
the flesh.
And connected with him a man, a writer of poetry, on our
side, closely connected with spiritualism.
He was very clever--he too passed away out of England.
He has communicated several times.
This gentleman who wrote poetry--I see the letter M--he is
helping your son to communicate.
He is built up in the chemical conditions.
If your son didn't know this man, he knew of him.
At the back of the gentleman beginning with M and who
wrote poetry is a whole group of people.
They are very interested. And don't be surprised if you
get messages from them, even if you don't know them.
