Scientist) This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Va., this 19th day of February, 1939, in accordance with request made by the self - Mrs. [1825], new Associate Member of the Ass”n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc., recommended by Mrs. [1468].

[Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. Mrs. [1825].]

Born October 27, 1884, in Avesta, Sweden. Time of Reading 3:55 to 5:05 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. New York City.

1. GC: You will give the relation of this entity and the universe, and the universal forces; giving the conditions which are as personalities, latent and exhibited in the present life; also the former appearances in the earth plane, giving time, place and the name, and that in each life which built or retarded the development for the entity; giving the abilities of the present entity, and that to which it may attain, and how. You will answer the questions that she submits, as I ask them:

2. EC: (In going back over the years from present - ” - ‘31 - - changes in the attitudes - ‘30 - ‘24 - ‘23 - aplomb (?) [or - a plume?] in the year - ‘89 - yes - ” etc., on back to birth date.)

3. Yes, we have the records here of that entity now known as or called [1825].

4. In giving the interpretations of the records as we find them here, these - as given - are chosen with the desire and purpose that the experience may be a helpful one in this sojourn; that there may be a closer application of self to those influences as may bring the greater awareness of the oneness with the universal consciousness.

5. As to emblems and figures, these have meant and do at times mean a great deal, or they bring a message to the entity in the varied forms and manners.

6. The seal of life (and it will be well for the entity itself to draw this, for in the very act will come a concept of the union of Creative Energy or God and self, or the ego that makes application of these meanings):

7. A pyramid and an inverted one over same, with the lamb and the lotus upon either side of the lower triangle.

8. As will be seen, the interpretations of these are drawn from not only the astrological aspects and phases of the experience during the interims of such sojourn, but from the several sojourns of the entity in the material plane; and its activities are drawn, to be sure, from the application of self to the Creative forces or principles in its relationships to others.

9. For as is understood by the entity, nothing is by chance, but is as this emblem - a pattern of that thought and manifested in the choices made by the entity in its relationships to things, conditions, and individual entities.

10. There is purpose, then, in the sojourns of an entity in materiality at ANY given period; as there is purpose in contacts, associations that one makes with others, in one’s activity of seeking through materiality.

11. In the physical or material plane, one becomes subject to all of the laws of birth, decay, as well as to the laws of environment and heredity, as well as to the eternal forces - which are the spiritual aspects of each entity; just as the body, the mind and the soul are the patterns or the shadows of that which has been named or figures in the eternal realm of Father, son, Holy Spirit.

12. So we find in the interpreting of the aspects, that are as influences in the material experience of the present, these are as the entity’s shadows of that which has been attempted, which has been accomplished, - also of the failures or rebellions in those experiences through the relationships of the ENTITY; not body alone but entity, in its relationships to the whole.

13. As to the astrological, - these that are governed here are not according to the time of birth, but rather as to the indwelling of the entity in its experiences through those lapses between the expressions in material forces, or in the earth.

14. Hence as we find, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus become the greater aspects in the entity’s experience in the present.

15. In Venus we find the love of beauty, of those things that find harmony, peace and quiet in material expressions.

16. From Jupiter we find the benevolent expression of association with facts, figures, and things pertaining to groups and masses.

17. In Saturn we find the changes that have been of sudden nature in creating mental atmosphere as well as material environs.

18. In Uranus we find not only the beauty but the extremes, and the interest in those influences that are of the natures that take hold rather upon the mental and spiritual aspects of material or physical individuals.

19. All of these become expressed or manifested from the urges that lie dormant OR manifested according to that choice taken by the entity as respecting that influence known as life and death, good and evil - choices, - the will of the individual entity.

20. Knowing itself to be then a child of the Most High, a companion with that it chooses as the manner, the mode, the means of expressing that relationship in its dealings and in its influences with those it may meet.

21. Not that in materiality there is any good or any evil of itself, save as to the manner in which an individual entity may manifest same in those things that are as the fruits of the spirit or that take hold upon change or death.

22. As we find, as expressed or manifested in the dealings with others, so ye deal with thy Maker. As ye choose then peace, harmony, longsuffering, brotherly love, kindness, patience, - these take hold as it were to the hand of the living God, as manifest in Him who walked in the earth.

23. While manifesting hate, jealousy, contention, those of that nature, - one walks in the very valley of the shadow of death, as is so called.

24. Good, then, is a matter or manner of purpose in which one chooses. For each soul is as precious in the sight, the heart of the Creator as if it were thine own blood in thine own material body. And as such, it is that which makes for the awareness OF the relationship self bears to LIFE - which is the manifestation of that force called God.

25. As to the material sojourns in the earth, with this entity we find them quite varied, and under very unusual circumstances. They, the experiences, when compared to the material understanding in the present, may not be wholly understood. When compared to that which is the pattern of life, then there may be gathered a glimpse of that which has been held as the purpose of the entity through its choices in material sojourns.

26. Beautiful have been many - hard from the standpoint of material gains or materiality in others.

27. Before this we find the entity was in the land of the present sojourn, during those periods when there were the first settlings there.

28. Then entity was among those first born, or among the early births in this particular land, or in those places near what is now a part of Vinland or Connecticut.

29. And if there is a journeying to portions of the land, especially along the coastline of same, it will be found that there will be brought memories, as it were.

30. For as indicated by the very emblem itself, the inner self touches oft as to the descending pyramid to that point where as He gave, “I will bring to your remembrance ALL things from the beginning - for ye were with me in the beginning.”

31. There we find the entity, in the name Hlanan (Vistro).

32. Vistro Hlanan was active in those experiences as to freedom of thought, of expression, and in bringing to others the realization that in nature might be found the lessons through which many might gain the better understanding of their relationships not only to the things about them but to the universe.

33. And a study of same has been and is innate within the experiences of the entity in the present, as also the abilities for the choice of things that pertain to the gratifying or satisfying of home conditions for others.

34. Before that we find the entity was in a part of the Promised Land, during those periods when there was the spreading of the teachings of the disciples of the Master.

35. The entity was young in years during those periods when there were the gatherings of the many following the death of the Christ on the Cross, or at Pentecost.

36. There we find the entity was among those gathered, and among the first to recognize that those teachings, those conversations of the followers on that day were being spoken in such manners as to be understood in the hearts and minds of those who spoke not the language of those Galileans.

37. The entity was among those who came from the land about Thessalonica and hence spoke a different tongue from the Galileans; yet coming under the influence of the teachings of the Holy Women, as well as especially John and Philip, and again especially that one who first became the Martyr for a cause - Stephen, - being of that same land.

38. When there was the establishing then of the church in Thessalonica, the entity returned there, becoming then the helpmeet to one Cleopas who was the elder of the church to which Lucius AND Paul ministered during those periods of the activities.

39. There we find the entity was especially given in the arts of the weaving, and in the manners of dress, - especially the character of the plaids that were a part of the activities in that particular portion of the land during the entity’s sojourn there.

40. THROUGHOUT its experience in that sojourn the entity gained, becoming a help to the minister’s wife through those periods of interrupted activity in the church there; aiding in the contributing to the needs of those who were less fortunate, those who were persecuted, and those who depended upon the ministering.

41. Is it any wonder, then, that in the very hands of the entity in the present there is healing, - as they minister to the needs, the activities of others?

42. Is there any wonder that there is particular emphasis in the present experience of the entity upon that message given by Stephen, or the teachings there that are especially recorded in Luke?

43. For the entity, as in that experience, may in the present best gain the insight into the revelations as come to those who love Him, through those ministrations in the conversation, in the gentle manner, in which those lessons may be given that the trust in Him brings that peach which is the promise of that Master whom the entity served so well among its fellow men during that experience.

44. Then name then was Lydia; giving then in the present greater and greater thought to those tenets, those lessons, those activities of those who ministered to the needs.

45. And the assurance that comes to the entity in such ministrations only makes for the KNOWING in whom ye have believed, and that He IS able to keep that ye have committed to Him against that day.

46. Before that we find the entity was in the land now known as the Egyptian, during those periods when there was the understanding gained by the ministrations and activities in the days when Joseph ruled in that land.

47. The entity then was among the Princesses of Egypt, and of that King who made for the establishing of that closer relationship to those who had chosen to serve the living God, rather than to serve their own selves.

48. For the entity was acquainted with and oft associated with Joseph, the incarnation of Him whom the entity later served so well in Thessalonica!

49. There the entity gained through the experiences in aiding those who were of the low degree or caste to become acquainted with the forces and powers that brought the greater comprehension and activities of the people in that sojourn.

50. Hence we will find in the present experience a lesson in the life of Joseph that is nowhere else gained in the writings of the Old Testament.

51. Then the entity was in the name Zerlva.

52. In the present application of self in respect to the lessons, the innate forces gained there, it is seen that there are the abilities to question with those who are seeking here and there for a greater comprehension of what the experience in materiality is all about - that which will give them, as then, an insight into the fact that it is the practise of the principle of patience that gives the development. For as He gave, “In patience ye become aware of your souls.”

53. Before that we find the entity was in that land when there were those activities in which the chosen of the Lord, as recorded, were making for those activities which later brought about the dwellings of him called father of the faithful.

54. The entity then was among the daughters of Heth from whom Abraham purchased the land near Socoh [Gen. 23, 10 miles S.W. of Hebron].

55. The entity was acquainted with that patriarch, though - as considered in those days - of an unknown peoples; yet through the activities viewed by the entity as to same there was aroused that which brought a longing for a knowledge of a something of which the entity had heard.

56. For the manner in which Abraham, Isaac and Sarah - and even Ishmael - were in the care of their own brought the love of a home; yet to the entity - as in the present - seeking rather the knowledge of that city not built with hands, but rather that eternal in the heart and soul of those.

57. Hence we find again those abilities of ministering, of teaching, - not as proclaiming but in LIVING, and in the quietness of the conversation, being able to give that which awakens within the minds and hearts of others that search for that which the entity finds in its emblem - the lamb AND the lotus, in purity that touches even to the lips of God.

58. Before that we find the entity was in the Egyptian land during those periods of turmoil and strife, when the Priest Ra-Ta had been banished, and there was the entering of those from Atlantis.

59. We find the entity was among those who had been of the Priest’s own household; divining through the knowledge of the stars, the earth, the land, the sea; calling to mind all of those when the turmoils arose, - as to the needs of the entities and individuals turning to that thought as had been expressed by Ra-Ta.

60. The entity was a sister to that Priest, and hence through the quietness of the activity, through the messages given to the peoples in the periods of ministration for those who were ill and for those who would search for the knowledge of things to come, the things to be, the entity was able to make overtures that brought the Priest back from the banishment.

61. Through those periods of restoration we find the entity was instrumental in establishing the activity in the Temple of Sacrifice, and more especially in the Temple Beautiful.

62. Hence fabrics and how they weave into the hearts and minds and souls by the LITTLE things, as they weave into the experiences and souls and hearts of men and women, become a part of the entity in this experience.

63. The name then was Ra-dundo.

64. As to the abilities of the entity in the present, then, and that to which it may attain, and how:

65. As has been indicated through the seal - as its vision draws into the experiences of the entity through the material sojourns - if these are applied in the present they may bring the greater awareness of the close relationship to Creative Forces, - yea, to God, - in that “As ye abide in me and I in thee, and I in the Father, so may ye become a channel through which the glory of the Father may be manifested in the earth.”

66. So, let thy heart be glad that He, as He walks with thee, will open the door of thy heart to the greater purposes that lie before thee in feeding the lambs of God! in giving His sheep not only pasture but water! For He indeed is the water of life, the bread of life. He is the vine, and ye are indeed a branch bearing fruit in Him.

67. These are thy ways, then, - the Lord’s ways! Blessed be thou among thy brethren!

68. Ready for questions.

69. (Q) What is my next step for spiritual growth and healing service? (A) Begin where thou art. For in His name is strength and power. Meditate upon His promises. Make them thine own by applying them in thy dealings with thy fellow man, day by day.

Ye are upon the road. Be not dismayed by doubt or fear.

70. (Q) Would you advise my establishing a home in California this year? (A) This will be very well if all the material environs point to that for the better relationships.

71. (Q) Is it indicated through these sources that gold is to be found on my land in Lomarica, near Marysville, California? (A) It will be found - without a doubt.

72. (Q) How and where have I been associated in the past with my friend Lottie […], and what are the urges brought forward in the present? (A) In more than one experience we find an association.

In the one just before this - which brings confusing urges at times, as there were misunderstandings.

In the periods and activities in the land of Thessalonica, we find closer relationships.

These are very good, and WELL to be kept.

73. (Q) With Howard […]? (A) This we find only as in the present, though there are LATENT hearsays.

74. (Q) Dr. Strath Gordon - was he Luke? (A) This will be best found by comparison.

75. (Q) Would resigning from Christian Science movement be wise and a step of progress for me? (A) Do not resign, - rather build on those promises in same. Not to be wholly embraced as directed by those influences in the present, but that which is good hold fast to!

76. (Q) Is Christian Science the revelation to this age, and the comforter spoken of in St. John’s vision? (A) No. Rather is it the little book that becomes bitter.

77. (Q) Was sculpturing one of my talents in times past? (A) That of brocading more than of sculpturing, though an admirer of same - of course - in Thessalonica as well as in Egypt.

This would not have been called sculpturing then, but the figures upon which there were the touchstones during the initiations in the Temple Beautiful were creations of the entity’s hands.

78. (Q) Why do I draw so many unhappy experiences when I desire the light more than anything? (A) Consider that as has been given, - that as He is the vine and as ye are indeed the branch that beareth much fruit, He purgeth it that it may bring forth more fruit.

Patience, my child! for ye shall know the truth that shall indeed make thee free - as ye have been, as ye were.

Draw thy life pattern, as has been given - and in the drawing and interpreting of same find thy strength, thy faults, and the manners to overcome.

79. We are through for the present.

Reports

Reports & Follow-up

R1. Questions that did not get asked:

Have I ever played any musical instrument? I feel I have been standing still so long. Is my beauty business a karmic working out? The urge to write a book is very strong. Can I do so successfully?

R2. 3/5/39 [1825]‘s letter to EC:

Dear Mr. Cayce -

I have not been able to settle down to letter writing since my return. Have not been unhappy, but, in sort of wonderment. The Strath-Gordons left today for Florida - and last Friday eve when I saw them said they would stop to see you on their way home.

They and Mrs. [1468] are the only people who know about my having had a reading. I take for granted that readings are kept in perfect secrecy from other people.

You see Mr. Cayce - it was a wonderful experience and a very sacred thing to me, so it is with reverence almost that I am hiding it in my heart. I KNOW you understand perfectly.

Have some questions to take up later. Will also write Mrs. Cayce about the inverted triangle.

Please remember me to her and Miss Davis. Thank you for sending my reading so promptly, and for your kindness to me.

With good wishes

Sincerely [1825]

R3. 3/5/39 Friend Miss [1468]‘s letter:

Dear “Doctor Cayce”:

It was so nice to get your letter of the 22nd. I know you have heard from the Strath-Gordon’s by this time because they said they had been in communication with you and that they were going to stop and see you on their way home. Perhaps that is best. They are so very pleased about it all.

We have now finished with the course on the “Sacred Zodiac” but begin on the course “Comparative Religions” as soon as he gets back and by taking two nights a week for that hope to be finished in about five weeks. I feel that I must have this as my next step. As you know, being one of those Gemini GALS, the human mind must have so many questions answered! However, I feel that this is ABSOLUTELY the last course I shall take. I have definitely stopped going to lectures on Metaphysics for I found some time back that they did noting for me except mix me up. Not that I know it all or anything like that, but I feel that at a certain stage of the game we seem to have to “go it alone” putting into practice what we feel is true and then “sink or swim” with it. At least that has been my experience. Dr. Strath-Gordon does certainly leave one free with one’s own particular “approach”. Well how did I get on this????

Of course, I saw Mrs. [1825] and she read me her “Reading” which I thought was extremely interesting and revealing. I KNEW I had been closely associated with her before - it seems I was so in two of them, in Palestine and in the one where she was YOUR SISTER, when you were Ra Ta. She had the same reaction I had, especially after my first one - so stirred up I was downright ill! I think she feels as though there has been a small revolution within her - there was so much to digest - one comes out with a new set of values. But she will tell you all about it when she either sees or writes you. She is very sensitive too. She hugs her “Reading” to her (just the way I did at first) and hasn’t told a soul about it except me. I know she will get over that after she has sort of built the information, as it were, into her being! (How’s that?) That’s what happened to me. Not that I read mine to anyone - far from it - but when I find someone is at all interested - after I have been telling them about you - I read portions of mine just to give them an idea - as I did with Mr.s [1770] and [1825], also Mrs. [1620] some time back. (That usually makes up their mind for them!!) I find they are always impressed too with the beautiful spiritual messages that come forth. So now you know what Mrs. [1825]‘s reaction was!!! I certainly am long-winded when it comes to telling you about it!

Before I forget - now if you are really coming to New York, I want you to fix your “Social Calendar” so that I have as much time as I can have. As the Strath-Gordon’s will be away until the end of the month, I am free EVERY EVENING, so put down as many evenings as you can come AND HAVE DINNER WITH ME, and you can’t come too often because I have a lot to talk about. Just let me know the DATES. And you see I’m speaking up EARLY so I won’t be cheated the way I was last time!!!

R4. 3/8/39 EC’s letter to [1825]:

Dear Mrs. [1825]

Thank you for yours of the 5th - appreciate your taking the time to write us. Just hope your reading will continue to bring you joy and real help, that is the intention of it all

• not merely interesting but something that helps one get hold of the Truth as is in HIM.

You may be sure it is not viewed by all but is a sacred trust and is why we hope to have a place of safety for the records in the near future.

Am hoping to see the Strath-Gordons on their return from Fla. Was very lovely to have you here - and am sure you will be glad to know the little boy [1208] that took your place Sunday morning is much better. Was certainly nice of you to give way for him. Do hope you can be with us at the Congress session in June plan to come begins the 17th of June.

Thanking you and with all good wishes

Sincerely [signed] Edgar Cayce

R5. 4/12/39 Letter from [1468] to EC: ”…Mrs. [1825] says she has been intending to write you but her work has kept her so busy she has hardly had time for anything but sleep. She came here for dinner on Easter and we had such a nice visit…”

R6. 5/18/39 Letter from [1468] to EC: ”…Last night I saw [1825] and she told me about the very satisfactory visit she had had with you - that she had been able to have many questions answered. I think she is a wonderful person. She thinks you are just perfect and your ears should have burned considerably. She and I went for a swim in the pool first - you know we Scandinavians do take to the water, then we had a little “fire water” after we came out! - so had a grand time…”

R7. 7/1/43 [1825]‘s letter to EC:

Dear Mr. Cayce -

I am enclosing check for 20.00 - covering charge for my reading - rescheduled on Oct 9th.

If however there should be a change, I will appreciate you giving me any earlier date that might turn up.

You could send me a telegram if not time for a letter. At my expense. Just saying (Reading so-so)

Now to the reading -

[…], 1884 - Avesta - Sweden - (Oct 27th)

Please give me a fuller explanation of my experiences in Egypt, as a princess of the Kings household - and my association with Joseph. The knowledge gained of the Truth & accomplishments. This is of great interest. But the questions I am sending are of greater importance.

As in my last reading you stated that gold was to be found in my land in California - (without a doubt) - and I have since had a slight evidence of it.

No. 1/. Does my land at Loma Rica hold the promise of gold, copper and other minerals?

2/. Please state location of same.

3/. What are the first steps I must take in producing it.

4th and what contacts are necessary?

5th Who shall I turn to for financial support in the project?

6 - or what methods I am to use and follow?

7th Please state locations for a good mill on the land?

8th How and where - have I been associated with George […] in the past?

As these questions are THE important thing right now, and you think they require the full time - we can put the Egyptian experiences off till another time and give the questions all attention.

I will appreciate hearing from you as to what you advise, and I know you will understand when I say - that I seem to be starting on a new pattern and the financial plays a big part, but I also want to be a help to those in need, and which give me the greatest joy.

In hope of hearing from you soon regarding this I am with best wishes to you and your family -

Sincerely yours [1825]

R8. 7/6/43 EC’s letter to [1825]:

Dear Mrs. [1825]

Have yours of the 1st. Thank you for same, hate to put you off so long, but could you but see the number of requests as come each day. Have you read the book - There Is a River

• that to be sure is what has caused the greater number of requests just now, but so far the 9th of Oct is the only time before then we have a full period, but should some one else cancel their period before that time will be glad to let you know if we have the time. Doubt very much if you could get the personal questions on the Egyptian period with the others, am afraid would make each too short and not enough of detail to either of them, but will try it if you like.

But would not advise it, but do hope we may be the means of a real service at this time.

Sincerely Edgar Cayce

R9. 7/26/43 [1825]‘s letter to EC:

Dear Mr. Cayce -

Thank you for letter of July 6th in which you advised me not to combine the Egyptian period with the questions, and in as much as the information through the questions is the most important thing at the moment, I will ask you to handle it that way.

If the questions are not stated clearly and to the point, or if there is anything I can change regarding them please let me know - as I want to help you to arrive at best possible result.

So much is at stake and I know you are anxious to help me too.

In hopes of hearing from you - I am

Sincerely yours

R10. 8/3/43 EC’s letter to [1825]:

Mrs. [1825] …, Calif.

Dear Mrs. [1825]

Thank you for yours of the twenty-sixth. I believe it will be better to confine the questions to the most important things at this time. These, I think are in very good order and with the little change that Miss Gladys would be able to make they should be all right. Should others occur to you before the time of the reading, let us have them by special delivery or air-mail and you know we will be glad to include them.

Thanking you, I am

Sincerely, Edgar Cayce

R11. 8/16/43 [1825]‘s letter to EC:

Dear Mr. Cayce -

Thank you for your prompt answer regarding my reading on the 9th.

The time will soon be here.

I am glad you think my questions are in good order.

You mention Miss Gladys. Will make some changes which I hope will not change the nature of them and if possible could I have a copy of those before.

I am, as you know so anxious for the full information of the possibilities on my place, and as you suggested more questions - I should like to add -

“Is it advisable to let Herbert Carroll continue digging on the place or put it in other hands?”

Is it a good plan to build a house on the grounds?

Also, what is my next step of progress?

& How & where have I known Gladys […] before? and George […]?

But the MINING QUESTIONS are the most important and I will be glad to hear from you.

Thanking you I am

Sincerely [1825]

R12. 9/23/43 P.S. Is it possible to include 1 more question - and regarding the Egyptian Experience - (what was the King’s name ruling at that time? -)

R13. 10/9/43 See 1825-2.

Background

Background

B1. 11/28/38 Friend Miss [1468]‘s letter:

I am now taking a course with Dr. Strath-Gordon [A. E. Strath-Gordon, eminent scientist and psychologist; M.D.] on the SACRED ZODIAC which is the most fascinating and interesting thing I have ever studied in my life. He approaches this subject from so many different standpoints

• philosogy, astronomy, archeology, etc. which is most enlightening. He is a brain specialist besides - a truly remarkable man - and a metaphysician as well. He lectures every Tuesday evening - at present on the Lost Continent of Atlantis - and on Sunday afternoons has a very simple but helpful service. I find him very helpful and just what I needed at this time.

I have talked at great length about you (you must have felt your ears burning) to several members of the Class and two have definitely said they were going to get in touch with you this week. One is a Mrs. [1770], who, I think wants a physical reading, and a Mrs. [1825] who wants a Life Reading.

Enclosed is my small check to pay for a “shingle or two” for the new vault to store the records. I only wish I were able to give more. It seems to me that it is very important that these records be preserved and I hope it goes through.

I do hope you are feeling entirely well again and I am looking forward to seeing you.

With love to you all, I am, [1468]

B2. 12/16/38 Friend Miss [1468]‘s letter:

Dear DR. C.!

Well here I am trying to begin where we left off just before H. L. THREW me out!!! I do appreciate the long time allotted to me though of course never long enough. That seems to be the cry of everyone. I do hope you have been able to rest up after the strenuous time of “hand-shaking” and listening to others peoples’ woes, but from what I gather, you will be busy with Readings for a long time to come.

My friends, Mrs. [1770] and Mrs. [1825] thought you were wonderful. I feel partially close to Mrs. [1825], though I have known her only a short time, and it will be interesting to see if she wasn’t in the Palestine experience and even in the Philadelphia incarnation - being Swedish, there might have been some connection there with the Norwegian. it seems so strange that after going through so many years never meeting any Scandinavians, I should meet three in this Strath-Gordon group. His wife is Norwegian and there is a Swedish doctor. I told Dr. S. Gordon about you and he said he would have gone to your meeting if he had not, himself, had a lecture that night. He says if he goes South he will stop off and see you. I KNOW you two have been closely associated somewhere and I am sure it is in the Palestine experience. Things do not seem to be going so well for him and he may go back to Seattle which I think is all wrong because I feel he has so very much to give along certain lines. What he needs is a good business manager - a person like that is never a very good business man. with all his “learning” he expresses so much love and is so simple and modest and seems only to want to give.
