Reports on his experiences at a seance the night before, in which his 'perserverance was rewarded by 10 raps at intervals varying from a quarter of a minute to 1, 2 and 3 minutes.' Recounts that he met Tommy ten minutes after he saw Sidgwick. The former had just returned from Chattanooga 'where he saw the battle of Nov. 26, 27, 28' [1863]. He says the South is being conquered'.
