Experiential narrative
Case story from New York (1954): after a quarrel, a grandmother was ordered out of her son's home by her daughter-in-law, and for two years her gifts to her grandson went unacknowledged. Hearing of revision, she mentally wrote herself two letters, one from her daughter-in-law and one from her grandson, held them in imaginary hands and read them each night until they woke joy in her, falling asleep in the feeling. On the eighth morning an envelope arrived holding two letters identical with the ones she had imagined.
