148 THE BEGINNINGS OF SEERSHIP.
(No. 41.) Bournemouth,
Nov.t5, 1905. , DEAR Mr. TURVEY,
Your descriptions this afternoon were as follows—
r. As to Mr. Pontifex, that he was sitting in the, or in a, chair, with legs crossed, and one arm on the arm of the chair, and afterwards standing with legs crossed, and wearing an oblong metal, brownish, and not of gold nor of silver, something on his waistcoat. (This last particular was incorrect at the time, but could be accurately referred to a badge which he does at times wear.)
2, An accurate description of his hands and of his features, of his moustache, and adding the fact that he was in want of a shave (which was true), and giving his stature correctly.
3. He took a book out of a shelf behind me, and I remained in ignorance of the book until your description came to an end. You correctly stated its colour, and that the lettering was in gold upon the back, and that it was a book written in English about something foreign. It was, in fact, a treatise in English upon the philosophy of Kant.
Faithfully yours, J. W. SHARPE [M.A.].
PS.—I ought to add that you communicated with Mr. Pontifex and myself by telephone, and
