{{Style S-Small capitals|Sir,}}—Professor Barrett, in “{{Style S-Small capitals|Light,}}” has asked for an accurate version of an incident reported about two months ago in a Plymouth paper (the ''Western Mercury''), and copied into the London papers. Being at Exeter when the paragraph appeared, I went on to Plymouth with a letter of introduction from a friend to the proprietor of the ''Mercury'', hoping to get the exact evidence as far as possible at first hand for the Society for Psychical Research. The proprietor of the paper introduced me to the editor, from whom I learned that the matter was already the subject of a correspondence between himself and another member of our Society, in whose hands I should have been quite satisfied to leave it. The editor informed me that since the publication of the account in his paper one of the women who had made the statement on which it was founded, had called upon him, and had stated that they had received no official information of the death of their relative, the petty officer at Alexandria, from the Admiralty, as they almost certainly would, had the fact been so. Although I suspected this to belong to another class of cases, in which the anxiety or distress of living persons has been simultaneously communicated to friends at a distance, there was no chance of establishing this by evidence without the testimony of the man himself as to what was happening to him at the time his voice was heard. Curiously enough, this man’s name was included in a list of killed at Alexandria sent to the editor by the naval correspondent of the paper, but which had not been published when the letter of Mr. Revington giving the women’s statement, was received. | {{Style S-Small capitals|Sir,}}—Professor Barrett, in “{{Style S-Small capitals|Light,}}” has asked for an accurate version of an incident reported about two months ago in a Plymouth paper (the ''Western Mercury''), and copied into the London papers.

{{Style P-Quote|1=“Mrs. Lawrence, of Camelford (my great-great-aunt) dreamed (''circa'' 1810) that she went to London, and that on her return home an accident happened as they were driving through the streets of Glastonbury; that she was seriously injured, lost a shoe, and was taken to the hotel senseless.

She said next day that this would never come true, for she should never go to London again. Many months afterwards her husband had to go to London, and she went with him. Coming back from London she was sitting bodkin in the post chaise, and in driving through Wells* an accident happened, the horse taking fright at some men who were mending the street. Her head was badly injured, and she was taken senseless to the hotel, where she was laid up for a long time. In the accident she lost a shoe. This account is from my aunt, Miss Eliot, a niece of Mrs. Lawrence.”}} | ||
In reply to my further inquiries, Mr. Pearce wrote me, “I hear that there is no written record of Mrs. Lawrence’s dream. The oral account is doubly verified. Miss Eliot, from whom I had it, heard it several times from Mrs. Lawrence. Besides this, my grandmother, Miss Eliot’s sister, was one of the party at the time the accident happened. The party consisted of six in two carriages, and my grandmother, who must have been thirty-one years of age at that time, was in the first of the two, and it was in the hinder one that Mrs. Lawrence was travelling. My grandmother stayed with Mrs. Lawrence and nursed her, and my aunt, Miss Pearce, has heard my grandmother (her mother) tell the story numbers of times, and she entirely confirms Miss Eliot’s version of it.” | In reply to my further inquiries, Mr. Pearce wrote me, “I hear that there is no written record of Mrs. Lawrence’s dream.
