(The 56th envelope experiment was held during the session. The object was a pencil drawing I made of Jane this afternoon, without her knowledge. I looked down on her as she sunned herself, my viewpoint being the back row of the studio windows on the second story. The sketch took but a few minutes because she moved so frequently, and I was much amused at her restlessness; this mirth plays a part in the experimental results. The drawing is on porous paper with a slight yellowish cast. I placed it between the usual two pieces of Bristol, then sealed it in double envelopes.

Mirth. Yet also a connection with an unpleasant event. A rectangular card, with printed matter. Some larger lettering, and then some small.

(“What’s that about mirth?”)

(“Mirth.” As stated earlier, I felt pronounced amusement while making the drawing used as the object. Jane moved almost constantly while posing unwittingly, and I had to work very rapidly while at the same time being careful she didn’t look up at the studio windows on the second floor and see what I was doing.

(Seth mentions another possible connection with mirth in answer to my third question. But his answer to that question also makes us believe the interpretation above is the correct one.

(“An impression of many people.” Here Jane said she had the impression of a party, but decided to drop this line of association. This came from the mirth reference, she thought, and she was not sure the chain of association was correct. Sometimes it is left up to her as to what train of thought to follow. Again, Seth expresses uncertainty about the party-mirth connection in answer to my third question.

(“I am not sure here. It seems a connection with a party. But also a connection with something unpleasant, so I am not sure.” My third question concerned the mirth data, discussed on page 184. At that time Seth didn’t come up with a party connection with mirth, although he mentioned party later on. He did connect mirth to something unpleasant, however, and we believe this to be the correct connection. Here above, he is also unsure about the party connection, the something unpleasant data interfering.

(Jane now said that her personal association of mirth hooked it up to party ideas, so my question may have called this to her mind. Jane pointed out that the glass and cigarette in the sketch might also be called party props, however.
