[{p} _ Saturday_]  February 16,  1918  [e.v.]

   10  p.m.  _W.T.L.O.O.D._
_   _   Operation of IX_ß_ to improve communications with
Amalantrah--Blessed be he.
   1.30  [a.m.]
      After some talk, Qabalah, etc., I state my general
position. Ahita having some doubts as to her com
munications. Amalantrah says we must have faith--
in common--especially Ahita, or her messages will be
blurred.

   Q: ``Did we act rightly in the matter of Barzedon?''
   A: ``Very unwisely.''
   Q: ``How?''
   A: ``Crude.''
   Q: ``What course shall we now follow in the matter?''
   A: ``Do not have any visions with her. Be definite and frank.
Do not be in haste.''
   Q: ``What does he think of the letter I wrote to Dorothy
Troxel?''
   A: ``Very good.''
   Q: ``Why am I reluctant about Bert Reece and the search for
E[lsie] G[ray] P[arker] ? Am I very wrong in not pushing
this?''
   A:    I see a purple bier with silver casket on it, 4 steps into a
large hall. This is connected with E.G.P. The bier is
oval--filligree--and very long. There is also a tree
covered with ice. There is a filligree bird's nest with
wings--a poor boy on a stairway running away. He has a
pale white head--nondescript. There is a dead bay horse.
A low ceilinged room in vista and a table set with food
over which there is a Japanese umbrella. A beautiful
woman is eating at the table. A[malantrah] says that T.
will meet E.G.P. unawares. He need not seek her.
   Q: ``Is her name E.G.P.?''
   A: ``No.''
   Q: ``Is there something definite to be said to us tonight?''
   A: ``How to live. Fear God, and gather the straws as a bird
builds a nest.''
   Q: ``Do you approve of the letter to S.A. today?''
   A:    There is a bright light in A.'s face as he looks up.
_(Repeated several times.)_ ``Yes.''
   Q: ``Does A. know about Dee and Kelly Working?''
   A: ``Something vague about `Work on or with James or Sir
James'. There is a passing vision here of a large railway
terminus of some large railway system.
