Incidents. 107<br />

•<br />

witness, as it seems doubtful to me, but still it was a very plain and<br />

peculiar dream.<br />

[GEORGE H . TAFT.)<br />

The above was simply a memorandum made by Mr. Taft.<br />

On December 12th, Mr. Taft wrote an account of its corroboration<br />

with signatures, but he does not give the date of the receipt<br />

of the letters. It was evidently some time between September<br />

26th and December 12th. The following is the confirmatory<br />

statement:<br />

The dream of last September was one of many dreams that I<br />

have about everyday matters, but the one peculiar thing was that<br />

my daughter, Miss Mabel, dreamed the same thing the same night,<br />

only she dreamed who deli;ered the letters (I did not). I dreamed<br />

that some one handed me three letters, two blue ones and one white<br />

one. The white one was between the blue ones. One of the blue<br />

letters was a thick one and one of the blue letters was a thin one.<br />

I thought there was a check in the thin one. We had no reasori to<br />

expect two blue letters or a check in a blue letter. We received<br />

the three letters as I dreamed and also a check which I have in the<br />

thin one. In the thick one was an extra envelope containing a<br />

dollar bill and 50 cents in silver, making a thick one. I wrote down<br />

the dream, gave it to Mrs. Herrick. Please find same enclosed.<br />

The enclosed Mr. G. H. Taft gave me, letter, for keeping.<br />

account of which the above story is one. The incidents can now<br />

be given in the order in which the writer gave them :<br />

DR. HoDGsoN,<br />

WEST UPTON, Nov. 29th, 1904.<br />

DEAR SIR: 'In the Sunday Herald I saw a piece about telepathy<br />

etc. I have been a dreamer for a great many years. A good many<br />
