TEXT

  1. GC: You will have before you the desire of George Putnam for further information regarding his wife, Amelia Earhart, as requested through Mrs. [1293] of N.Y., and the information given through this channel on July 5, 1937. You will give any further information which will be helpful at this time, and answer the questions that may be asked.
  2. EC: Yes, we have the desire as is indicated by the communication from [1293], also the information that has been given through this channel respecting the location of Amelia Earhart.
  3. As we find, the twenty-first (21st) saw the experience of change in the experience of Amelia Earhart.
  4. This we find may be determined by [1293] or all the dates and the period taken into consideration as the period when this change occurred.
  5. Then, little helpful information may be given, save that: Alone she perished.
  6. Then, this between eighty-nine and ninety (89 and 90) miles northwest from her intended destination, or Howland Island.
  7. Storm - and heat.
  8. We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

  1. Subject of Reading - "AMELIA EARHART".
  2. See 1396-1 on 7/05/37.

REPORTS

  1. 8/03/37 Mrs. [1293]'s letter: "Sad as the news is, I feel your last communication is all too true and that Amelia is gone. I held out hopes for quite a while but the time-element was so long to have survived three weeks seems almost incredible. And to think that the fleet of planes gave up the search on the 18th and she evidently lived until the 21st.
    "I shall somehow get the news to George Putnam when I can although the man is so terribly stricken, yet trying very hard to carry on. He has almost nightly sessions with Hereward Carrington and some other psychics from the Psychic Research Society and I believe that the strain is bad for him. Hard as it may be for him and for us all to face the inevitable fact, perhaps a definite knowledge will be better news than none at all.
    "The whole affair has been a great setback to me because I felt very sure Amelia would make a safe flight and told her so, and even advised her when to start on it, so to have the thing end in disaster gives astrology (and [1293]) an awful blow. I shall never again make a prediction with the same carefree attitude that I had before this happened. Perhaps that is my lesson."
