(See the previous pages for tracings of the two envelope objects used in the 73rd experiment this evening. The beer can cap was enclosed within my folded note; the note was written on white paper in the same color ink used to make the tracings. Both items came from a gathering of friends at our apartment last Friday evening, October 7. The dark color on the end of the tab is carbon black from a candle flame. I did this deliberately on Friday evening during the gathering, in full view of everyone, for at that moment I decided to use this cap as the envelope object for the session tonight. Other details later.

(Jane had some images and these will be mentioned in place. This is a case where Jane had seen one of the two items making up the envelope objects very recently—the beer can cap, on Friday, October 7, three days ago. She had never seen my penned note bearing the date and identifying the brand of beer, Draft Beer. See pages 86-88 for tracings of the two envelope objects, and the beer can. I might add that Jane saw the beer can cap only in a casual way. There were quite a few lying about our living room Friday evening. Our candle was not lit until late that evening. When I picked up a cap to blacken in the flame I thought this would focus Jane’s conscious attention on this particular one, but she told me at break tonight that she hadn’t noticed my heating the cap, or else had forgotten it.

(“A Friday.” See the tracing of the note I enclosed with the beer can cap in the double envelopes, on page 86. The first line of my copy reads “Used Friday, Oct. 7/66.” This little note was written on Friday, October 7 also, after company left. [This session was held on Monday, October 10.]

(“A vertical format.” Seth didn’t help us out here and I neglected to ask him to after break, but in view of later data Jane and I believe this applies to the design on the Draft Beer can, furnishing the cap used as one of the envelope objects. See page 88. Due to its nature a beer can would bear a vertical format. The card table we used had a plain brown top; but perhaps Seth referred to something else.

(In regard to the Minneapolis-Milwaukee data above, it should be added that the Iroquois Draft Beer can that furnished the cap used as object in tonight’s experiment, did not come from Milwaukee or anywhere in the Midwest. See the sketch on page 88. The can and contents originated in Buffalo, NY, as indicated.

(“Printed matter and a design.” Again, see the tracings of the two envelope objects on page 86. The note enclosed with the beer can cap bears my handwriting. This is not printing, although Seth has often intermixed the terms printing, writing, lettering, typing, etc. We think this good data. And that “design” can refer to the metallic, cleanly-designed beer can. Seth goes on from here.

(“Something small and round, like a ring, or small circular shape.” The beer can cap used as object is small and round, like a ring. Jane pointed out also that the word “Ring” appears twice in blind emboss on top of Draft Beer cans, one of which furnished the cap. See page 88.

(“Placed fairly high on the item. Perhaps to the right, and small.” Jane said this was a reference to the position of the cap-ring against my note, while the two items were sealed between the two Bristol stiffeners and in the double envelopes. She had an image of their position while giving this data. It will be remembered that by this time Jane held the envelope in her lap; earlier she had held it against her forehead as she often does. To the right is a rough indication of the position she refers to, and which she was able to verify to some extent as she opened the envelopes at break. Remember the note was actually folded over the cap, like a sandwich; evidently the pressure of the two Bristol stiffeners and the two envelopes held the cap in the same position relative to the note.

(“The color red.” We cannot be sure. There could be many sources of red that Friday evening; for instance, the candle I used to deposit a coat of carbon black on the cap used as object, was a brilliant red; this was a large fat candle, and one we have used in previous experiments. We used it toward the close of the evening last Friday as an object upon which the six of us focused our attention. Half humorously, we attempted to increase the height of the candle flame by concentration, with no success. This was after we had finished the table tipping.

(I blackened the cap in the candle flame in order to tie the evening’s activities more closely to the cap, for the beer had been consumed during the table tipping. As stated I held the cap in the flame without pretense, before everyone, but of course told no one why I did so. Nor did anyone ask. It also developed that Jane did not notice my doing so.

(Red also appears on the Draft Beer can, one of which furnished the cap, in the words “by Iroquois,” and in the design of the Indian head at the bottom of the can. See page 88.

(“Gray, black, white.” Jane suggested these connections: The gray, or aluminum, color of the metal cap; the black section of the cap I heated in the candle flame; the white paper upon which I wrote the date and other data concerning the cap.

[... 13 paragraphs ...]

(“Oval also. Something oval.” Jane said that while giving this data she knew a small object was referred to, but did not say so. She thinks Seth was trying to get across the idea of the elongated egg shape of the ring and cap, thus:
