This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at his office, 322 Grafton Avenue, Dayton, Ohio, this 26th day of August, 1925, in accordance with request made by self - Miss [2497].

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

Time of Reading 11:30 A. M. Dayton Savings Time. Chicago, Ill.

1. GC: You will have before you [2497], …, Chicago, Ill., and the enquiring mind of this body, especially that portion of same as regarding marital relations of this body. You will please tell this body if this is the psychological time for her to make a choice between [K…] of Seattle, Washington, and [R…] of Norfolk, Va., or what should be the attitude of [2497] towards each of these at the present time and in the future?

2. EC: Yes, we have the body and the enquiring mind of this body. This we have had here before. There are many changes in the body, physical and mental, since last we had - it here. These we see, with the development, with the environmental conditions of same, have been bettered in many respects, for the attitude toward life and life’s duties and changes give the physical-mental forces of body a broader outlook and conception of life.

3. We find that the time is fast approaching when the body, the entity, should choose those of the marital relations for the best for self and of those who may depend upon same, for as has been given, the environ-mental forces of the body are such as is necessary for the entity to fulfill those relations to self and the duty to others.

4. As to the choice between those two as given, this, as is seen, should be made of the mind itself and built upon that relation with each. As is seen and viewed from here, the greater happiness would come by the dwelling in the East rather than West. Hence, as is seen, the attitude of [R…] would be the better, see?

5. The relation then as toward the other should be at present in that of the friend and one seeking counsel in the better way, and with that of the diplomatical forces as may be exercised by the body, kept in that way as the true, staunch friend, see?

6. Then, the future with [R…] would be in that of the way in which the greater good, the greater success in the physical life, in the religious life - these we find would bring the better good to this body. Follow that.

7. As to how soon that these should be then, there are plans as have been set and made. While the entity’s forces are in that manner and way of being brought to the focusing point on such relations, and while the conditions surrounding same are such as would make for the better, then accede to those and start in that way in which the home is made the exemplification of that home Beyond.

8. We are through.

CHICAGO, ILLINOIS

Dear Mr. Cayce:

Since I have had a cold, there is some excuse for my not acknowledging the reading sooner. However, needless to say I appreciated it beyond words. It was just what I had hoped and a million thanks for same.

Well, Mr. Cayce, I do hope - sincerely hope that you find all that is good and in harmony with your wonderful work in Virginia Beach. And know that we hope to have you in Chicago soon again -

Best greetings to Mrs. Cayce, Miss Davis, Hugh and yourself

R2. 10/3/25 EC’s ltr. to Miss [2497]:

35th Street, Virginia Beach, Va.

Miss [2497] Chicago, Ill.

Dear [2497]:-

Many thanks for yours of the 7th. As you doubtless know, we have gotten moved to Virginia Beach. Hardly fixed up as yet but will get our belongings straightened out I guess in time.

I’m glad to know that the reading was in keeping with your wishes. So, we expect to see you in Norfolk in the future and trust we may have the pleasure of your dropping in to see us occasionally.

I notice that one of our friends in Selma, Alabama, Miss Eliasburg, is marrying a Dr. Spiegel of Norfolk. I trust that we will have many of our friends close to us.

We’ve hardly been here long enough to know just how well we’re going to like Virginia Beach.

With kindest personal regards to yourself and the good folks,

Sincerely, Edgar Cayce. [EC:GD]

R3. 9/29/26 See 2497-3.
