72“I wrote seven books in all ; I died in 1901 in Rome. (Correct.) I was born in40-s.(Correct.) I can’t stay, but February 6 is the date. Tell L. and C. you saw me.”Q.: “Very sorry you are obliged to go. Will you come again ? Please send Iola here.”A.: “I might if I can remember better ; 43 was the year of birth.” (Correct.)(All this was in an unusual handwriting. Mrs. Georgia had never heard of Mr. Myersworks, either prose or poetry ; neither had she heard of Mr. Myers himself until he was mentionedby Mr. Hudson in her script of February 11, 1909. I had never seen Mr. Myers. I had readHuman Personality, St. Paul, and several of his papers in S. P. R. transactions, but I knew nothingabout his other works. Nor did I know his third Christian name, the dates of his birth and death,nor anything about him personally. I remember reading something about him when a memorialwas erected to him at one of our universities, but the facts had entirely escaped my memory. Itwas not till I reached home that I ascertained that the above facts were all true. I sent the writingto the secretary of the S. P. R., thinking it might fit in with some script in her possession. It wasreturned with a courteous note saying that Miss. Johnson “had not found anything evidential in it.”I believe the word “jingle” is an incorrect term to apply to the message Mr. Myers left behind him.Otherwise I think Mr. Myers communication is about as evidential an incident as has ever beenobtained about anybody, so far as it goes.After the departure of Myers, Iola came in, and a private conversation took place, veryinteresting to me, but of no particular value to my readers.)February 22, 1909. With Mrs. Georgia, who wrote :—“I am here ; the conditions are fine ; the day glorious, and the distinguished man of the sea isin a fine mood.”Q.: “Is Iola here too ?”A.: “I want to talk a bit ; that is her rapping on the table.“The reason I have not been here the last two times was better for me to stay away so Myerscould come ; he is in a higher sphere than I, and more anxious for you to hear from him.“He want me to urge you to call for him wherever you go that you will receive the rhymefrom some other medium……“You should call for us when you can, because we will inspire your book in the wonderfulatmosphere you have brought around you.”Q.: “Is Mr. Myers here ?”A.: “He likes the place he is in better than when he was here, and it means a great effort tocome back. He wants to come through an Englishman ; you are a very strong psychic control.”Q.: “Ask Mr. Myers if he will answer a letter at the Bangs Sisters on Monday, March 1 ?”A.: “He will try, but their mentality does not attract him as this girl. Animal magnetismmay be able to signal (picture of a flag which I assume means “signal”) him. England next fall !”Q.: “Do you mean Mrs. Georgia in England ?”A.: “You will see Mrs. Georgia in England during the year. You will blaze the trail “ Youwill be able to prove to a very intelligent few the phenomena ! You will do that ; don’t go homewithout exposing a medium ; if you go to one fake and expose him, you will carry greater weightwith your genuine.”Q.: “I do not care to convert. If people do not believe that you are Thomson Jay Hudson,nothing will convince them of the truth of these phenomena.”A.: “Going up the Jacob’s ladder is giving out good thoughts ; I will some day reveal thegreat hidden truths in the Bible. All this phenomena is in the Bible, but the world then was asblind to it as to-day.”Q.: “Have you seen my address intended for next Wednesday night ?”A.: “I will see it when you bring it out to-morrow. You can do nothing without theAdmiral.”(I said to Mrs. Georgia ; “You wrote before I came.”) “Not with me. You are too selfishto give my letters to the world ; you are too fond of a good dinner !”Q.: “Who do you mean ?”
73A.: “I mean my girl. I want her to wake up ! I want her to realise her spiritualpossibilities ; she does this to please you, not to please me or educate the public, nor even herself. Iam old enough to be (her ?) father, so I have a right to arouse her to the frightful waste of talent !”“Iola wants to come in if you would rather she came in ?”Q.: “You have been very good. I should like Iola to come in.”A.: “I would be glad to come all the time you are here. I shall carry the message T. J. H.”Take another Paper.”(I am sorry that I have had no opportunity of following the advice of Hudson to “Expose amedium.” As will be seen later, my correspondent from the third sphere was anxious that hismessage should form the principle feature in the account of my experiences in America ; and didnot hesitate to imply fraud in other mediums with the hope of carrying out his object. It was,however, no good. I was unable to oblige him.)The rest of this sitting was occupied by a conversation with Iola which is of interest only tomyself.A curious incident happened when I returned to my hotel. I was particularly careful to putall my papers reporting this sitting into one drawer in my room. In the evening I found themseparated into two lots, one (the latter half) being in the drawer into which I had put the whole ; theformer part was discovered in another drawer that I had never used for records of sittings, nor,indeed, for any other letters or papers. The division was accounted for the next day, as will beseen below.time.”February 23, 1909. With Mrs Georgia.This sitting was entirely taken up with communications from Iola.Q.: “Can you tell me about my papers last night ?”A.: “Yes I was there. I read them over to see how nicely I could write.”Q.: “Why did you put half of the papers in the wrong drawer ?”A.: “I want you to know it was I ; I was a bit careless on earth.”(I said : “I don’t remember clearly, but I think she was.”)A.: “Near relatives should know !”February 24, 1909. With Mrs. Georgia.This sitting was taken up by communications from Iola. The following are extracts :—Q.: “Have you seen Hypatia ?”A.: “I have not.”Q.: “She was at Jonson’s cabinet.”A.: “I did not recognise her ; she was of no interest to me then. I was so exhausted thatQ.: “You know I have a picture of Cleopatra ?”A.: “Yes I know all about Cleopatra.”. . . . . .(55) “He has the offshoot of the oak in his pocket, a gold acorn. Have him take a chain from hisoutside pocket.” (This is a remarkable incident. I took out of the outside pocket of my coat thekey of my room in the hotel. Attached to it by a steel chain was a gold-plated acorn. It is hardlynecessary to say that Mrs. Georgia knew nothing of what was in my pocket.)February 25, 1909. With Mrs. Georgia.“I asked Mrs. Georgia to try what she could do in automatic mirror-writing while readingaloud. I brought her one of the books from her library, a play by Victor Hugo, and while readingit to me she wrote. The script was rather wild ; I first asked a question of Dr. Hudson.)
