TEXT

1. EC: At this time, we find this entity [288]'s earthly sojourn was in the court of Louis 15th [During Regency], and this one as then shown was in the household, and the second daughter of the king, [See 288-10 indicating that she was daughter of Louis 14th.] born in the palace of the then legal wife of the monarch, raised and educated in the monastery or in the school of the monasteries in the courts of the country, yet not in the walls of same.
2. At the age of seventeen we find the body first makes the acquaintance and meets the Duke of York, son of the monarch then ruling in adjoining country. The seduction of this maiden followed, and with the birth of the son [294] the ruler has the ejection from the court, as the mother [of [288]] had then lost favor with the monarch, and amid these surroundings this brings a great distrust of all men, as has been given. Yet, when the body finds the Duke had been unfaithful, the love does not cease in the heart but all is centered in the offspring of that love, as has been given.
3. With the ejection from the courts the girl, [288], becomes then a sister in one of the near convents, and enters there at the age of twenty, having had three years of the mother love for the boy, Dale [? 294]. In this meeting at the last we find much affection shown, and the promises of those of the monarch's household. We find the monarch had given in to a great deal of the distrust to exercising of the vengeance as wreaked on the mother of the mother [288] of the offspring [294]. Hence it [294] is left in the care of those whom this body [288] felt were the closest friends in the household of the king when she takes the veil.
4. In the sojourn here we find soon after this body [288] has entered this home, from which she cannot return under three years, that with the return to see the offspring [294], and when first being told of his death, without knowing the cause thereof, there is brought the great dread and the inability of any to satisfy that desire of the heart and life, or to fill the longing for that one who has become dearer than life itself to this body, Gracia [288]. Then we find the body gradually gives way to the physical defects and goes to the resting place at the age of thirty.
5. Those others connected with this body, we find there are some who have in the present day become close personal friends. There are others who have not as yet come into the friendship that exists during this present earthly sojourn. This we find in the keeping of this present earthly plane, those - and that one to whom the greater love was given should find its manifestations in the present plane's existence. The entity [288] should find its rest in heart, soul and mind in the life of that individual or entity [294] as then, and who is at present in this entity's plane of endeavor and work at this time. The affection which was lost in that plane should be manifest in this present, for in this will this entity [288] only find its rest in this earth's plane, with that entity [294] who was and is so dependent upon its earthly planes of endeavor.
6. Then give of self and of self's affection, that the bonds may be united again, and that each may give of their better selves in their developing to that land where no partings are known, and where affection is the rule.
7. (Q) Who are the personal friends who were associated with this entity at that time?
   (A) The sister [199] in that of the mother. The friend, Mae Bell [? Mabelle ?], who was that one close in the household and a sister in the flesh then. Ruth - who was one who was the sister [in the convent] and lent much counsel in the spiritual uplift. [Miss [288] reported later that she thought EC was referring to two girl friends known to her at the time, one a neighbor and one a girl with whom she worked.] The son [294] - that one closest in heart's affection, and the one closest in physical forces at present. To those ever be true. Give of those earthly affections that bring the peace of the soul and heart.
