Entry 7238
[The following statement is a penciled note of mine made back in 1937 while transcribing cylinder recently recorded in Wilmington:] Fortuneteller - while eating breakfast in this woman's house [who was hurt] - the woman who he said had hurt her sent over some biscuits - he ate them and told his hostess [and patient] they would have killed her if she had eaten them - long story not worth copying. [Wilmington, N. Car., (215, the story occurring in Evans Co., Ga.), 121:2+85.] [The story should have been cop- ied because it showed that a doctor was immune to poison. It also shows a spell must be prepared for a particular person, a common belief in hoodoo.]
