Worms — Second Pots
June 24 — 4° 20' P.m — 2 worms earth garden — mould passed down & well damaged.
4° 23' both on surface both disappeared except just tail at 58' (ie in 15') on borders of pot
Aug 6 last night twice worms started back when candle first brought to them, I must make this point stronger — first give general conduct & then these exceptional cases. I am sure no vibrations.
