Reports & Follow-up

R1. 4/17/40 Letter from brother mailed from Ky. to EC in Va. Beach, forwarded to EC in N.Y., rec’d by EC in NY several days after 1465-10 had been volunteered:

“I have just returned from my home in … where I have been visiting my brother and other relatives for several days. I found my brother, [1465], to be in no better shape, if probably not losing ground to some extent. He was very much interested and insisted that I write to you concerning his case, hoping, as we all are, that probably you could give an additional reading and that all of us working together can find something to do that we have not yet done that will in some way improve, if not cure, [1465]‘s condition.

“He seems to have less and less use of his entire body, still being able to walk a little about the house, but is unable to move to any extent his arms, head or legs. He complains considerably of trouble in his stomach and bowels. He can hardly talk at all and his diet is necessarily composed largely of liquids or mashed foods. We have tried to administer treatments as outlined in your last reading, but so far as we can note at this time there have been no changes or improved condition.

“I am enclosing a check for $10.00 and would like for you to give another reading of his case if you think it advisable.

“We have not been able to secure much encouragement from any source for [1465]‘s improvement.

“If there is anything that can be done for him that is at all within our means, we are very anxious to know of it.” Sincerely yours, […]

R2. 6/11/40 Mother’s letter to EC:

“At the request of my son, [1465], whom you have given Psychic Readings from time to time since Oct. 1937, I am writing to you in regard to his case. We are following directions given in Reading of March 22, 1940, this being the last one given [1465-9].

“He wishes to know if you have ever had any cases similar to his, if so, what were the results.

“Thank you for your attention to this and Best Wishes to you in your work.” Sincerely,

R3. 6/17/40 Letter to [1465]‘s mother from EC:

“Have yours of the 11th - as wrote you sometime ago - think we have had during the years several cases similar to [1465]

• the results have depended on just how well the suggestions were adhered to.

“Possibly Mrs. […] [it] would be well for you to write me a complete history of [1465]‘s case as you know it - then we will write you in light of what has been given from time to time just what we feel is best course for you to take at this time.

“Sincerely hoping for the best.” Sincerely, Edgar Cayce

R4. 6/27/40 Letter from [1465]‘s mother to EC:

“We received your letter some few days ago, suggesting that we send you a complete history of [1465]‘s case. In May 1938 we wrote to you giving as near as we could the nature and how he was affected by the disease, when it commenced to bother him or when he first noticed the tremor, we begun the 7th of Nov. 1937 to apply oil packs as directed in the first Reading you gave, and carried this out 6 months. At the end of this time we had a check up reading and advised to go to Osteopath. We went to Lexington, Ky. to Dr. Geo. E. Heibel (recommended to us by Dr. Beard, Hopkinsville, Ky.). We stayed there 2 months taking treatments as prescribed in Reading. Also had X-ray made of head, neck and entire digestive tract, which showed nothing that would be any aid toward telling us what to do for him. We saw no improvement at all and Dr. Heibel told us he didn’t either. So we came home called our home Dr., Dr. T. R. Davies, he looked at the X-rays we had made and examined him and gave him a little medicine to aid digestion. So for a time then, we just kept up the diet prescribed in the Reading and gave him a laxative every night and he remained about the same for sometime. Then we heard of Cobra Venom, thought it might be worth trying.

“We had him given 7 doses (injections). No relief, seemed to be almost neutral. Then again we just keep on diet and he takes laxative and we go on this way for sometime.

“Then after sometime he wants to have another check up reading, in which Salts bath etc - was prescribed, we carried this out as directed with no improvement as we could tell. We still keep on diet and rest up again; since he seems to weaken after treatments. Some weeks afterward we hear of Rabellon treatment for this disease [Parkinson’s disease], so we decided to try this. It seemed to help for awhile and then seemed that didn’t do so well. So after a time he wants another check up reading, which is the last one given, in which was prescribed the oil pack again. We have been carrying this out. But 2 weeks ago we thought it best to rest more than one wk. between applications, to see if he could gain some strength.

“When he even tries to move or use any energy at all, it just sets his limbs in uncontrollable motion. He has no control of muscles scarcely at all. Can hardly walk at all without aid. Bends forward so much when he tries to walk. Has a dreadful time to eat. Jaws just won’t work when he wants them to, so that chewing is almost past doing with him, swallowing is VERY difficult a good deal of time.

“Nothing seems to improve his condition. This is probably a more of a description than history, but this is the way it is. And we have tried and are still trying to get relief for him if we can’t find any cure.

“He was normal as any of our family so far as we knew until 18 yrs. of age. Graduated from High School, and took part in any activities a normal boy would. Attended church and Sunday School regular. Belonged to Boy Scouts, played in the Band. Liked to work at anything we had for him to do. Agriculture was his favorite work (but he never got to do very much of it). Liked to fish and camp out. Made friends easily, was of humble, kind, sympathetic disposition. We live in hopes of finding something for him. Thanking you for your attention to his and if you find anything that you think would be worth the while we would appreciate your letting us know about it. Best wishes to you in your work.” Sincerely, […]

“P.S. Mr. Cayce, I thought you might not understand from what I have written that [1465] is helpless. Has been helpless since immediately after we begun the use of oil pack in Nov. 1937. We have fed him and given him every bit of meals and water, etc. since the first of year 1938. At Christmas 1937 he fed himself but very difficult. I wanted him to let me help him but he would do it himself until he couldn’t. He isn’t paralyzed but when he wants to move he just can’t. He has a very high sense of feeling. Just a hair or a LITTLE bit of something on his face or hands and he can feel it but can do nothing scarcely to get it off. Occasionally he can put his hands to his face but with great difficulty. It seems that the harder he tries to move the harder it is to do it.

“His mind is good. Seems that the nerves or muscles in some way just contract and can’t relax.

“He sleeps pretty good at night a good deal of time. Doesn’t go to sleep usually until 10:30 or 11 o’clock P.M. Sleeps sometimes, a nap during the day. Occasionally he shows interest in something. Ask about the garden or something. He can’t engage in conversation with one, only say a few words at a time just now and again.

“He smiles sometimes and once in a while he laughs at some of the jokes the children tell in his presence, and then again at times he just can’t bear noise or talk or any disturbance scarcely at all.

“No noise while he eats.

“This is about as near as I can tell I think about his condition.

“Hope you find something to help him.”

Sincerely, […]
