An account

I beg to state that I perfectly remember my daughter telling me all about her dream within a few hours of its having occurred . It afterwards struck us all (her father as well as myself and several friends, most of whom unfortunately are since dead or have disappeared) as being very remarkable on account of its having occurred almost simultaneously, as far as we could learn, with Mr. Hansen's actual decease. Miss H. Franconi wrote to us as follows from 1237, Stockton Street, San Francisco : — July 13th, 1884. In regard to the dream that my friend Mrs. Jarratt had, I only remember, as it is many years ago, that she dreamt of Mr. Hansen and told me all about it the following morning — but what the dream was about I cannot remember. [In conversation, Mrs. Jarratt, who is a very clear-headed and sensible witness, gave me the additional detail that even in her dream sore throat struck her as an odd thing to die of. This is not a point as to which memory can at all be relied on ; but the mere fact that it seems to be remembered is some slight confirmation of the evidence that the actual disease was mentioned in the dream. The degree of exactitude in the coincidence does not, however, seem to have been established with certainty even at the time.]
