Mrs. Kane then tried standing at some distance from the table, with her
hands on the back of a chair; there were some raps seemingly near or
under the Medium.
Raps were produced as members of the Committee stood with the Medium
around the desk in the library, and close to a book-case. Raps were
produced according to the Medium on the glass door of a book-case, upon
which Mr. Sellers placed his hand. Mr. Sellers felt no vibration on the
glass, but raps were heard somewhere in the vicinity.
The Committee then returned to the dining-room and the Medium wrote upon
a sheet of paper the following:
"Friend Pepper: I am happy to meet you here to-night. I have not
forgotten my promise to you, Henry Seybert."
The paper had to be held to the light and read from the obverse side, as
the message was written from right to left.
Mr. Geo. Pepper: "Do you remember the year in which you made the
promise?"
The answer given in same way was: "It was in the year in which my Spirit
left the body. H.S. Call the alphabet, H.S."
Dr. Pepper called the alphabet--the sentence "Let Friend Pepper call the
alphabet" was rapped out. Mr. Geo. Pepper called the alphabet: the
letters HAND were rapped out, and the communication ceased.
