nce, I _was_ "connected with" B., but only so far as he had
become a professor at Yale long after my graduation: I did not know him
personally. But my intimate connection with A. was not only direct, but
through several persons intimate with us both, including G.P. when living.
Mere telepathy, certainly mere telepathy from my mind, would have
"spotted" some one of these connections much more readily than the alleged
one with B., which was hardly a connection at all.

The _simplest_ solution for the whole business, though perhaps not the
most "scientific," or even probable, is that the spirit of G.P. was
troubled about A. and habitually thinking of me at the University Club as
a Yale man, on my turning up at the seance, was reminded of the solution
of A.'s troubles proposed through B., and wanted me to help.

And now to this rather commonplace manifestation comes an interesting
sequel illustrating the reach of mind spoken of at the outset. Out of a
perfectly clear sky came to me in New York on April 8, 1894, the message
from G.P., to look out for A., who was low in his mind, and that B. was
trying to get a place for him. On May 29th, Hodgson writes me as follows,
showing that the same thing had come up _through the heteromatic writing
of A.'s wife at Granada in Spain_, and meant nothing to her or to A.

"GRANADA, May 6, 1894.

"Dear H.[odgson]:

"Those suggestions from Geo. that I write to B. prove interesting
in the light of what I first learned here: that he had been
lamenting my silence and had been urging me to a place as ----
[at] Yale where he is. I had no notion of this move on his part
till four days ago when I received a letter telling me. Of course
nothing came of it, but anything less known than that cannot be
imagined. The message came once earlier thro' [his wife. Ed.] to
whom George wrote it [heteromatically. Ed.]. George [in life. Ed.]
never heard of B. nor saw him, nor did we ever speak of B. to Geo.
or Phinuit.... Of course I don't want mention made of the effort
of B. to get me the Yale place
