This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his office, 115 West 35th Street, Virginia Beach, Va., this 9th day of March, 1931, in accordance with request made by self - Mr. [2504].

[Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. L. B. Cayce.]

Time of Reading 3:20 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. …, Va. (Physical Suggestion)

1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [2504] - this we have had before. There are tendencies for the body to become more and more set in the MOVEMENTS of the body, yet many of the responses are good.

2. We will find that the massage - whether those of hand given or of the electrically driven - would be MOST beneficial. These should come a little DEEPER than just the external. While not so many corrections, yet many are necessary to prevent that tendency of the muscular forces and nerve centers along the cerebrospinal system, especially as for locomotion - either to those of the brachial or from the lower centers - these would respond better.

3. We would keep much of those being given, save we would add those of the vibratory forces or DEEPER massage.

4. The diet, the eliminations, are kept very good. With cold or congestion these become accentuated at times in the MOVEMENTS of the body, yet the DETERMINATION within the body-mental forces are MOST helpful. Keep these up, and we will find responses YET that will be most satisfactory. Ready for questions.

5. (Q) What can be done to get strength and prevent stiffness? (A) Just as has been given. IF the centers were locomotion receives its impulses are stimulated through the manipulations, or the electrical driven vibrations, we will find these will be most helpful in gaining strength and in gaining STABILITY. We are through with this reading.

Reports & Follow-up

R1. 3/13/31 [2504]‘s ltr. to EC:

My dear Mr. Cayce:

Your good favor came yesterday and the reading to-day. Many thanks for both. I note the chief difficulty seems to be my lack of osteopathic treatment. I am going to start up instead if possible a rotary electric treatment. At present I am taking the radio active battery and the galvanic battery though I need something else very much. You certainly give me new hope in the reading. While I have not been discouraged I realize that I am weaker and stiffer though appetite and general conditions keep at a fairly even stage. Mrs. […] is certainly doing a superb job of nursing and is banking strongly on your readings.

We were so sorry to hear about Mr. Cayce [L. B. Cayce’s] indisposition and very glad to know that he has recovered. I appreciate your invitation to become one of the trustees of the new association and want to assure you that if you think I can be of service I shall consider it a distinct privilege to be favored in a membership of your group to further the noble work which you have so heroically undertaken and carried on in the past under such serious difficulties, I have no doubt but that you can triumph and leave here a finished work worthy of the faith and works which you have.

I too should regret very much to see anything carried on at the old shrine which would be detrimental to the purposes for which it was established. With careless caretakers I should not be surprised to see at any time that the building had burned.

It is my opinion that if the Blumenthals would do the best thing for themselves they would turn that property over to a congenial group in order that it might fulfill its purpose. It would be a fine thing for your work and the University to success with the Blumenthals illiminated. I assume Mr. Kahn and Mr. Zentcraft [Zentgraf?] will be vitally interested in the new work. When you have time please give me a synopsis of the plan. Mrs. […] joins me in very highest personal regards.

Sincerely yours, [2504]

My dear Mr. Cayce:

Your good favor announcing the meeting for the twenty-eighth looking to a reorganization of the work with readings relating thereto enclosed received.

I regret very much my inability to be present on the twenty-eighth and sit around the table with the group to discuss which seems to me to be a plan looking to the carrying on of a closer earthy relation between God and man, that is to the unrevealed portion of man using Edgar Cayce as to the instrument through which the forces reveal the marvelous mysteries which have been so beneficial to humanity. As to the selection of a name or stating a purpose, selecting a manager or a leader I would not presume to make such suggestions by letter. It would seem that the only safe way is to discuss the matter together with as many as can be present at the meeting. Pray over the programme earnestly and depend absolutely on the readings. There can be but one leader and that is the one who has been indowed with this great phenonema. The readings have already separated the leader from the business manager, which is essential. I have great faith in the outcome of the meeting and the success for the work. I shall be with you in spirit and earnest prayer on the 28th at 3 P.M.

Very sincerely yours, [2504]

Mr. [2504] …, Va.

Dear Mr. [2504]

I am just in receipt of yours of some days ago and, as always, am mighty glad to hear from you. I am sorry to know that you are not improving just as you would like to. Only yesterday, we were speaking of you and we were wishing that we had a place arranged where we could have you here that you might have all of the treatments applied just in the way and in the manner as have been outlined for you.

I know that you have one of the best nurses possible, yet the facilities for handling the condition is necessarily limited in the home. We are hoping to start a little institution soon after the next meeting. It may be a few months, it may be several months, before we can get started, but as soon as we can, we want to see what we can do. We want to have you here.

Yes, I certainly wish it were possible for us to have your counsel and advice on the 28th. Should you have any special recommendations to suggest between now and then, may we have them to be presented to those that may gather here Saturday afternoon? I am sure, from the wonderful response that we have had, there will be a considerable number present, and that there will be a great many prayer meetings in various parts of the country, showing that their hearts and their prayers are with us in the undertaking.

This, of course, will be a pre-organization, a determining as to whether there should be an organization at all or not. If so, as to how it should be conducted, the proposition of conducting same, consider manners and means of conducting same. The manager, I am sure, is going to be a hard proposition for any of us to settle on, yet we will need one, just as the information has always insisted, and we will need one who has good business judgement, yet one who has consecrated his life and heart to the service of humanity and to his Creator - one big enough to meet all of the little petty things that arise in such organizations, one capable of meeting the day laborer as well as the financier, and to meet them in or on common ground. If there is such a one, the readings should be able to point him out, for, of course, we will have to be guided by that more than anything else.

I know from experience, there are such things as an individual starting out with all the enthusiasm and all the interest as is necessary, yet when the cares of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches enter in, they fall away. Possibly, I am speaking of myself, as much of anyone else, but if I know my heart and my purpose, it is only to be used as a service for mankind, to be a channel of blessings, to as many as He may permit me to be.

I certainly appreciate your letter. We want to keep in close touch with you. Give our love to Mrs. […] and know that we all think of you and pray for you and hope to be of some service.

I thank you for the letter regarding Cone Gear, also. It looks mighty good, and if there are any questions you would like to have asked, if you will have Mrs. […] write them down, we will be glad to get them in any time we find the opportunity. We are keeping rather busy, but I am glad to say that we all are fairly well. My father and I and several of the others have a little cold, but outside of that we are pretty good, that is, pretty well, NOT good.

Let us hear from you. With love from all, I am

Ever the same, Edgar Cayce

My dear Mr. Cayce:

Your good letter of the twenty-third just received, and hasten to answer a portion of same. You know how difficult it is for one to attempt to present ones own ideas to a proposed meeting like yours without the benefit of being present at the conference. I would greatly enjoy the privilege of participating in the initial meeting, for I am confident that each one assembled will have to one purpose at heart and with this desire present; the very best thoughts will be presented conducive to develop and maintain the work. There is just one phase of the work that I will venture to mention and that is the housing and equipment. I am thoroughly convinced that earnest prayer and effort should be made to obtain the ownership of the present Cayce Hospital with its equipment. This thought has been with me both day and night and I am a great believer in the power of prayer and I trust that matters can be shaped up so that the acquisition and maintenance of this property can be readily obtained provided it is the desire of your board to have it. You qualifications set forth a manager are very fine. They can be measured up to but not easily. You will however get the right one in time.

May the blessings of the Lord be with your meeting.

Very sincerely yours, [2504]

R5. 3/29/31 [2504]‘s ltr. to EC:

My dear Mr. Cayce:

Naturally I have been deeply concerned about the meeting and what transpired? A peculiar thing happened yesterday afternoon at two o’clock. At the moment I did not have the matter in mind, when dropping off into a doze I had a dream with the following scene in it. A large room arranged with the chairman at one end in the center; in front of the chairman were three large chairs in a semi circle; immediately in the rear there were eight chairs forming a second semicircle, the middle chairs being large and the others considerably reduced in size from the middle to each end. The middle chair in the first group was occupied by a distinguished looking portly gentleman who appeared to be half asleep. You sat in the center of the second row with two or three one each side of you who seemed to be very much animated in talking to you. I occupied the end chair on the left. you made the statement that you had secured all of the figures and it would take $64,350 to pay all indebtedness and put the matter on a sound basis. It seemed to be the understanding that the portly gentleman in front would simply announce that all arrangements had been made but I woke up before anything further was done.

I trust you had an encouraging meeting. I am so anxious to know what took place.

Very sincerely yours, [2504]

R6. 4/7/31 EC’s ltr. to [2504]:

Mr. [2504] …, Va.

My dear Mr. [2504]

I certainly want to thank you for yours of the 27th. You no doubt have had a line respecting an outline of the meeting on the 28th. [See 4/1/31 letter under 254-54.] Within the next few days I hope to send to all interested the concensus of opinion of the whole group, expressed in as few words as possible - but in as definite a manner as possible. This meeting, as you understand, was not so much as to HOW the work would be carried on - but as to WHY it should be carried on, and what would be the aims and purposes were it carried on.

As to whether it will be advisable to consider the Cayce hospital site, I am not prepared to say. True enough, my whole heart and mind was bound up in the undertaking there - but so many things, intangible and tangible, have arisen, I wonder if the spirit has gone out of it - or if it would be possible to revive it properly were we to go into that phase of human experience that would be necessary to separate them from the property; for I do not think Mr. Blumenthal would be even reasonable in a sale of the property - and as for leasing, it’s an impractical thing. In fact, I believe that it is the opinion of many that it is his intention to conduct a school - or a place there under his own supervision. That will, however, remain to be seen. Time alone, possibly - with God’s grace - will be able to straighten out such mix ups.

I hope that when we do have the initial meeting it will be possible for you to be present, for I’m sure your counsel and advice would be worth a great deal of all interested and concerned.

Trusting that you are feeling good, that you are continuing to be on the improve, that everything physically, mentally and spiritually is on the improve for you - and with love from all, I am

Ever the same, Edgar Cayce

R7. 4/9/31 [2504]‘s ltr. to EC:

My dear Mr. Cayce:

Your favor of the seventh duly received and much appreciated. I know you are busy and feel that I am being especially favored by you. I shall be very happy to receive the account of the meeting with the suggestions for reply. You are certainly to be congratulated for the successful meeting on the twenty-eighth. Certainly there never has been any question as to whether the work should be carried on or not. The result of the past is living evidence of the need for it. I am sure you are taking the wisest course in carefully investigating and reasoning out the proper and safest method for starting, enveloping and maintaining the work. I can hardly believe the Blumenthals would be silly enough to attempt to start anything calling for public approval at Virginia Beach though they may be egotistic enough to do it.

Referring again to your favor of the twenty-third in which you speak of the possibility of my being back with you again for treatment. This is certainly very kind of you and I am hoping that in some way it may come about. I feel sure that great benefits would result. At present I am necessarily missing the vital treatments for my case as a result I have become helpless though signs of improvement from better illiminations [eliminations] are apparent but not in activity.

Please remember us to your father and all the rest. I know you are too busy at this time to take up Cone Gear. I appreciate the offer and when I get a little more information and you get a little of the work off of your hands I will be glad of the privilege of sending you a few questions.

Very sincerely yours, [2504]

R8. 4/13/31 EC’s ltr. to [2504]:

Mr. [2504] …, Va.

My dear Mr. [2504]

Certainly very glad to have yours of the 9th. I assure you that there are many times when I would love to talk with you, and to have your counsel and advice. You no doubt have gotten a letter about the purposes and ideals. Let us hear from you about this at your earliest convenience.

We are having a meeting of the interested group in Norfolk this week. No doubt we will have the one in New York the latter part of this month. Then as soon thereafter as feasible we will have the organization meeting.

As far as I know now, no disposition has been made of the hospital or the belongings. I understand that they have turned over the water line to the city, and that the truck has been sold.

Yes, I’m hoping that very soon we can get started in some place - which I don’t suppose it will be practical to do before Fall. I am thinking there will be quite a hurrah before the Association is finally dissolved - though I hope not.

Sorry to know that you don’t get your strength and use of yourself as well as you should. I hope, though, that this will soon change. Remember us to Mrs. […]. Just heard from [758] and Mrs. […]. They are getting along fairly well. [543] is here with Sister - seems to be doing nicely.

Let us hear from you. With love from all,

Ever the same, Edgar Cayce

My dear Mr. Cayce:

Your good letter of the thirteenth with the minutes of the meeting received. I have studied the minutes considerably and they are certainly comprehensive. There are a few points however that I would like to submit expressions upon which I hope to feel able to do in the next few days. I have not been feeling so well of late and would greatly appreciate a reading at your first convenience.

Very sincerely yours, [2504]

P.S. My appetite is not at all good. Should I continue the tonic with the Indian Turnip.

R10. 4/30/31 EC’s ltr. to [2504]:

Mr. [2504] …, Va.

My dear Mr. [2504]-

Just in receipt of yours of recent date, and I am sorry indeed to know that you are not feeling so well of late.

Owing to arrangements having been made for me to be in New York this week-end, to meet a group there, it is impossible to get the information within the next few days, but as soon as I am back we will certainly try to find something that will be of help. I just wish that you were here closer to us.

I know how it must worry you not to be able to have all the treatments, and to feel that you are gradually losing ground. If your appetite is failing, I think you should discontinue the tonic with the Indian Turnip until at least we have the chance to get a check-up.

Assuring you of your interest and desire to help if possible, and with love to you and Mrs. […] I am

R11. 6/4/31 Mr. [2504]‘s letter to EC:

My dear Mr. Cayce:

Your favor of April 30th duly received and much appreciated. I am glad to say that I am better than when I wrote last and seem to be on the improve. We have a very good doctor and he asked me very carefully of the nature of treatments I have been having and after studying them he worked out a combination of part of Dr. Lydic’s and using some of the applications prescribed in the readings together with his own prescriptions he has seemed to get very good results. I can sit up now when lifted out of the bed. I agree with you that if I were close to you where I could receive the treatments as set forth in the readings I feel that the improvement would be much more rapid. My appetite is very good, digestion fine and illiminations [eliminations] very satisfactory. I really believe I feel at times a new tinge of reviving nerves which gives me new hope. I wish some arrangements could be made whereby I could be near you for a while at least. I should love to know what transpired at the group meeting in New York and also at the organization meeting if same has been held. I see the Hospital Property has been leased for hotel purposes. I hope it will not get in bad repute. Would like to know how the shrubbery is looking and if the bulkhead is receiving proper attention though I would not ask you to drive in but as you are passing glance over to the shrubbery and the fig tree and let me know if they are living. I am inclosing herewith the last report on Cone Gear progress. It is of course more or less confidential. I have not worked up a list of questions for the reason that I have not been sure that this is the time to do it for it seems everything is being done that can be for the progress of the gear and matters seem in a satisfactory state. Do you not think so! If you had a place open and could take me for a while I would make you a proposition. I will write on another sheet very briefly in regard to the work as the programmed outlined by yourself and group leaves little more to be said.

Please let me hear from you!

Very sincerely, [2504]

Mr. Edgar Cayce, Virginia Beach, Va.

Well, my dear Mr. Cayce, it has been a long time since I received your very informative and helpful letter. It is comforting to know that you have such a loyal group of supporters as set forth in your letter. With this group and the complete program outlined and so well manned especially with the ones whom I knew. Among them, Mr. Zentcraft, Mr. Shroyer, Hugh Lynn, and Miss Davis. How I would love to be activity and financially identified with your programme at this time and at the same time receiving the wonderful physical, mental and spiritual help that radiates from you. I am glad to say that my general condition is fairly good other than the use of my limbs which is still practically nill. I often visualize your activities and would love to know a few of the details.

Do you ever hear from any of the old patients? Please give my best regards to all.

Sincerely yours, [2504]

Mr. Edgar Cayce, Virginia Beach, Va.

My dear Mr. Cayce:

Your splendid letter of July 6th [Oct. 6, 1931] duly received. Some time after receiving your letter I heard that you were in New York is the reason for my delay in writing you. I have gone over your letter several times and enjoyed it very much each time. How I would love to have about ten more years of health in order that I might be in position to assist in permanently you and your work at the beach for suffering humanity. I am glad to know that you are organizing a spiritual healing group [281 series]. This is a subject I have always felt like approaching with an awe for the reason that I have always completely my heart, mind and soul in the hands of God asking of the things I felt I needed but submitting absolutely to his will with absolute faith that what ever was done would be his will and that therefore I had no right to try to change his will by persistent prayer. I may have the wrong angle at this point if I have I shall be happy indeed to be shown my error. I have never before expressed my position on this subject I would be very grateful for your opinion as to my version or for any helpful suggestions along this line. Please bear in mind that I shall ever be eager to join a group for treatment under your personal direction. I am so glad to receive the good news of so many of the old patients. Please remember me to them especially Mrs. Harell and to all of the folks in your home. I am glad that you have Grey [Gray Salter] with you. I trust that the authorities will give the ousted directors their rightful control of the property that it may soon be back into merited service. I was very much gratified to learn that the little flare up in New York was dismissed in court but I was not satisfied with the reason given for dismissal. It would have seem much better if the Judge had requested a test reading in court but of course the instigators and aggressors would not agree to this. I would like to know some of the particulars and feel that while it was very humiliating to Mrs. Cayce and Gladius Gladys] it is bound to work out for good to the cause.

The last time the Doctor was here, about ten days ago, he seemed very much set up over what he called my improved condition. Sometimes I think I see signs of improvement. I am certainly getting every possible encouragement. Mrs. […] is doing a wonderful piece of work which I would have to class much higher than nursing. Then too the others here contribute every possible element of benefit for my good.

Kindly remember Mrs. […] and myself to all of your good people. Tell L. B. [L. B. Cayce] I often think of the daily visits he use to pay me. Also remember me to Alec [Cayce Hospital orderly?] and the other boys should you see them.

Very sincerely, [2504]

R16. 12/1/31 EC’s letter to Mr. [2504]:

My dear Mr. [2504]

I was indeed very glad to have yours of the 20th. I’m glad to know that the Doctor feels you are showing some improvement.

I will be more than glad to present your name to our healing group that has been formed through a study of the phenomena, for I feel very sure - if you are able to get the contact with this group as we did while in New York, and under such mental strain - it will bring to you the same healing, the same satisfaction, as it did to all of us. This is a very sincere group, seeking nothing for themselves save to be channels of blessings to someone through their cooperative spirit of prayer and supplication, leaving all healing, all good, to Him who IS the Giver of all good and perfect gifts. This, I realize - as do you - is the same attitude you have expressed as your own, and you possibly feel we have no right to be persistent in our prayers for that He sees best to withhold. However, we must remember, Israel wrestled all night and would not take no for an answer, and even though he was lamed from that night onward, he obtained that blessing that made HIM the PHYSICAL channel through which our Lord and Savior came. Just so, it is hard to understand why that the work we are doing should suddenly be withdrawn from by those who had been making it possible for others to receive some benefits through its channels; yet we realize that if doubt, antagonistic criticism, could creep into the very portals of the institution, and sneers and jeers could be in the faces and hearts of those attempting to administer, then failure MUST be the result. Or why in New York, when we were so sincere - or felt we were trying to be of help and aid to others, there should be people lying in wait to entrap us, and to use the very information itself against us. Why does He allow such things to happen? We should remember He has said, “I will NOT allow my faithful ones to be tempted beyond that they are able to bear,” and again, “Though He were the son, yet learned He obedience through the things which He suffered.” So we were humiliated, so we were naturally worried; yet when we analyze what forces were brought to bear in our behalf, when we realize that we had friends that were sincere, whom we had only counted heretofore as pleasant acquaintances, we know that this friendship, this love that was manifested by so many, far outweighs the littleness that was manifested by those who would cause trouble. Yes, the press was quite unfair as to why the case was dismissed. I am quoting the Judge’s dismissal: Hon. Francis J. Erwin.

[Next paragraph included in Court Report under 254-59 Reports.]

So, you see, this was quite different from the intimation that the case was dismissed on a technicality. I am sure this happening will draw a very definite line between those who are lukewarm or doubters and those who are sincere in their interest. The doubters will have more reason to shy off, and those who feel by their experience that it is worth while will be drawn closer and closer together.

[This paragraph used in 5641-5, former Cayce Hospital patient’s Reports.]

Possibly that experience may help you to understand, to bear the cross you have, to know that in His way and in His time all things will be made well; and possibly this group - all of us cooperating together - may be of some help to you in quickening that necessary for you to have the strength, the health, and the ability in Him to do many of the things you want to do in this life. If He sees otherwise, then we must bow to His will - but let’s all plead before the throne of grace, believing that He will bring to pass that which is best for all of us.

Let us hear from you whenever you can. I know you are receiving the very best care and attention. Mr. L. B. has had a very bad cold; in fact, has been in bed for some days, but is up today and feeling somewhat better. I hope he will soon be his normal self again.

Give our love to Mrs. […] and our friends there. Know we are always glad to hear from you. I’m sure this group will let you hear from them soon.

With much love from all here, I am

P.S. We are enclosing reading on New York experience.

R17. 3/1/32 Mr. [2504]‘s letter to EC:

Mr. Edgar Cayce, Virginia Beach, Va.

My dear Mr. Cayce:

It has been a long time since I received your splendid letter giving the interesting details of your New York experience and of the very touching scene of Dr. [5641]‘s son’s visit. Dr. [5641] did not impress me as one not believing in God, probably the change has taken place before we visited much. It was very nice of this son to come to you and make the acknowledgement.

Thank you very much for the reading on the N.Y. experience. It is certainly fine that you can have them. I trust that Mr. L. B. has long since entirely recovered from his slight cold. I often visualize your standing on the beach at sunrise with the golden rays of the Great Power stretching over the blue Atlantic and warming the sand at your feet. You are certainly located in a pure spot of the earth.

I see there has been compliments passed to Mr. Blumenthall by the officials of Virginia Beach at a blow out at Prince Henry Hotel. The whole thing seems to have been done by suggestion from the inside instead of by inspiration.

Will you please give me Mrs. Griffin’s address [Edith Wickhouse Griffin, R.N.]? I received a very helpful letter from Miss Edith Edmonds in which was suggested meditation hours, seven in the morning and six in the evening. I have carried this out almost one hundred percent and have received benefits if not physically, certainly mentally and spiritually. I feel very fortunate in being one of the subjects of interest to this group. Please remember me to Miss Edmonds and the rest of them. I pray for you every night and know that the Lord is caring for you. A personal experience of yours related now and then would give me much help. I have now been confined to the bed for just about a year while I have the best of care and food and environment the joy of a large room with plenty of sunshine, you would think I would tire with my limited scope of vision but I do not. I am thoroughly resigned to the inevitable trusting only to be ready when the Master calls.

Please remember me to Mrs. Cayce, L. B., the boys, Gladius and Mildred.

Sincerely, [2504]

R18. 3/8/32 EC’s letter to Mr. [2504]:

Mr. [2504] …, Va.

My dear Mr. [2504]

I was, indeed, glad to have yours of some days ago. We have been going through the ordeal of moving again, as our good friends have made some preparations to either buy or lease the Wright Building [67th & Ocean], as they are planning some development there. I do not know whether it is to be a club with hotel attachments or a Catholic School. Both have been mentioned.

We got wind of this and did not want to be so badly embarrassed in the summer as we were last summer, so we made arrangements to take two little cottages in the Pinewood section [403 Lake Drive, etc.], if you remember where that is. It would be very much better if they were close together, but we are in hopes that they will prove to be satisfactory until we can get ourselves better situated. It kinda separates the family, but separates the work, too, from the home.

Our friends have also brought suit against me for what they claim was property removed from their 35th Street house. Of course, I understand when I bought our cooking stove that it belonged to me and I was very sure that the improvements that I had put there were removable, such as the closed in glass frame which I had hoped to use at the Wright Cottage, but never did, (and glad I didn’t!) but to have such an embarrassment and to be accused of doing such things I don’t understand, but I should never in the world be surprised at anything when I realize the manner in which you were treated.

Yes, it was quite satisfying to have Dr. [5641]‘s son express himself in the manner he did concerning what his father’s association with the work meant to the whole family.

Mr. L. B. seems to be getting along very nicely. I don’t know just how he is going to like this change. It is all so new to us all that we haven’t gotten straightened hardly as yet and he hasn’t moved over. He is stopping [staying?] with Sister just now.

Yes, as someone expressed it, it is a peculiar state of affairs when people are banqueted for opening and closing a hospital, opening a school and closing it. I don’t know just what we are coming to.

Mrs. Griffin’s address I understand, as near as I can get it, is Lafayette Blvd., Nofolk, Va.

We are, indeed, glad to know that you feel the concerted effort of meditation with you has been of benefit. This group, I am sure, is very, very sincere in their efforts, and we have seen some very marvelous results and it will, indeed, be a pleasure to report this at our regular weekly meeting. We often, as we are this week, have two or three meetings a week, but we do not forget to remember: “Let His will be done in us!” - not us try to tell God that we would have Him do.

I am sure, being confined to the bed when one has had such an active life, gives you considerable time for introspection, but, “He doeth all things well”.

Let us hear from you whenever you have the opportunity. Miss Gladys and Mildred are helping wonderfully with the work, each in her own respective way and manner.

Give our love and regards to Mrs. […] and with love and best wishes to you, Sincerely, EC:MD
