Reports & Follow-up

R1. 8/24/39 Letter from [1789]‘s sister [2268]: “Dear Mr. Cayce, I’d like you to be frank with me in discussing this situation about [1789]‘s life reading. I have seen the complete check reading and am very thankful to you for withholding certain things.

“When I saw the reading sent to [1789], I immediately sensed that there was something wrong. As she is away now I would appreciate if you would tell me confidentially and strictly personally just what happened at the life reading. Have you given it and are withholding it from everybody, or have you been absolutely unable to give it?

“Does that mean that she has done something in the past or is there something unpleasant coming that it will do her harm to know?

“Mother too is away and there is no danger of anyone seeing the letter. Please, Mr. Cayce, I am not asking these questions for curiosity’s sake; it’s just because I’d like so much to help any way I can. It’s so difficult in these cases to know just what to do.

“In the last reading [1789] particularly liked the part about getting back into her artistic endeavor. Her art is always on her mind.

“You wrote Mr. Kahn that something happened to [1789] in 1936 that was the beginning of this. The only thing that I know of is that she was working on an oil portrait for about a year and a half or possibly even more. She was painting this picture from a photograph of a woman who died a short time before. She had a very magnetic personality with a strong face. Her husband loved her very dearly and wanted [1789] to get her likeness just as he remembered her. [1789] had a very hard time with that picture. I don’t ever remember her working for such a long time on any other portrait. Besides she disliked doing it very much as she prefers working from a living model. She used to shut herself up in her room and struggle with this portrait for days at a time neglecting everything else. We were greatly relieved when that picture finally left the house. There was a disappointment connected with it, because [1789] received about a quarter of the price that she expected.

“Almost right after that she left for New York. All this happened in Boston.

“If [1789] should, God forbid, get sick again my mother would never live through it. This sickness of [1789] has been such an unpleasant business that we’re all still not over it yet. I am especially concerned about [1789] now with the coming fall and winter. It was all right for her to take things easy in the summer but real soon now she ought to be busy doing things, which would do her so much good. She is always saying that what would help her most would be to do her art work again. That is why she was so anxiously waiting for the life reading for some guidance, she so badly needs now.

“At the present time [1789] is enjoying herself at Mrs. Kaplan’s camp. I have spoken to Miss Joann on the telephone at Mr. Kahn’s suggestion. She says that she knows you, Mr. Cayce, since her childhood. I am going to meet her when she gets back to New York. Miss Joann sounds so nice on the phone.

“I heard that you were away. Hope you have enjoyed yourself. I bet you would like going to the World’s Fair.

“Is it hot in Virginia? I just hope you are feeling 100% and so does everybody else in your family. Am looking forward to your letter. May God bless you always. With many personal regards…”

R2. 10/3/39 Letter from sister [2268]: ”…[1789] is a picture of health. Everyone is remarking how well she looks. She is trying to find her way back into her own activities. She is making some cards for me, of which I enclose one…”

R3. 11/15/39 Letter from [1789]: ”…I do hope you are not thoroughly disappointed in me, for being such an ungrateful person. I am constantly thinking of you and I have had every intention to write sooner, but when did so had to tear it up and try again. I did several times without success.

“This time I have your little booklet before me. I just read it through. Your work sounds wonderful to me. Your picture on the booklet helps me to visualize you. I should like to see you in person it would make such a big difference.

“I thank you very very much for the reading. You do so much want to help me, and I have not even written to you all this time; for which I hope from the bottom of my heart that you will be so gracious as to forgive me.

“I have the reading here before me now. I looked through it every so often. It was such a help last summer; because of it I went away and had all that fresh air and new surroundings, which I have enjoyed very much. The scenery was so beautiful! The people were nice to me. It all seems so far away now.

“I did no art work last summer; did not feel like it. I can’t say that I am doing any now, but I am getting more into the spirit of it. Taking inventory of all my work, papers and notes; putting everything in working order. Expecting things to get moving sometime soon.

“I have two drawings to finish in water color for a friend of the family, who has been exceptionally nice to us when we were most in need of sympathy and understanding. There are not many people like him. He is such a comfort to have. He is going to pay me for the job. I don’t think it will be much, but it marks a new beginning for which I am very grateful.

“I regret that I cannot see you, for the very presence of a person is so vital.

“I have been helping at home all this time; doing my part, washing dishes, cleaning the house and so on.

“Mother gets jobs through a private school in the neighborhood taking care of small children. Sometimes we help her, for she can not attend them all. She has been quite busy, so I did all the shopping for the family. [2268] laughingly says that I am getting to be quite an expert.

“In your letter to her you mentioned another life reading. Sorry the first one did not come through.

“With the best of luck and warmest wishes to you and your family, a very happy Thanksgiving.

Mother sends her regards…”

R4. 11/20/39 Letter from [1789]: ”…I have received your letter this morning and was delighted to hear from you so soon. I am glad you like my people so much, for they hold you in great esteem.

“You say you are anxious to see my life reading; you can imagine how interested we are, and to think that we shall see one so soon! Friday morning will be perfectly fine for me. I shall be at home at the time mentioned. I am very much looking forward to this and am thanking you in advance many times.

“I am glad that you have been connected with Art and like and understand things artistic. I am sure you will like my work and as for doing your portrait, why should be delighted and happy to do something for you that I am positive you will like much.

“There is one thing I would like to ask of you, to be so kind as to send the reading directly to me and not Mr. Kahn, as I have not been in touch with him for sometime. I want to pay for it myself in the very near future.

“Regards from everyone…”

R5. 11/22/39 Letter from [2268]: ”…I feel like thanking you for the sweet and kind letter you have written to [1789]. It has made her happy to know that you are still interested in her. There are so few people in these troubled times that are really genuinely interested in another, without gain and profit, but out of sheer friendliness, as your letter shows.

“To a girl of [1789]‘s type after what she has been through, this is something priceless, the very feeling that there is a true friend way out in Virginia, to whom she can always write and be sure of a sincere and quick reply. You are the only one that she writes to, it is not easy for her, but I know she is improving.

“I personally believe that letter writing is a wonderful means of self-expression and it’s doing [1789] a lot of good. I only wish that she will be able some day to speak to you in person and thank you in her own words. You are so good to her and to us…

“P.S. I am enclosing a few questions that [1789] would appreciate if you would answer in connection with her life reading. Please, disregard the questions sent for the previous life reading.”
