Date: 11/19/1926 Sex: F Age: 28 ReadingID: 12484

This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at his office, 115 West 35th Street, Virginia Beach, Va., this 19th day of November, 1926, in accordance with request made by self - Miss [4586].

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

Time of Reading 4:00 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. New York City.

1. GC: You will have before you the body and the enquiring mind of [4586], of New York City, and the dream this body had on the date which I will give you. You will give the interpretation and lesson to be gained from this, as I read same to you, and you will speak slowly and distinctly.

2. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind of the body, [4586]. The dreams as come to the body are as the correlation of experiences in the subconscious conditions (that is, sleep), as weighed with the body-conscious mind and the experiences of the subconscious entity giving to the conscious mind that of correlated conditions in experience through vision or dream, and bring to the entity lessons that, being applied in the life, may bring the better concept of the truths of life as applied in the various relations with the action of mind over matter, or matter as related to the action of mind concerning elemental, spiritual or material conditions - varying as per the experience of the entity, as the application of knowledge does in the material plane. Ready for dream.

3. (Q) Saturday, Sept. 25, 1926. “I seemed to be in a place where there were many men and women and was escorted by a friend of mine who I have high regard for. Suddenly he disappeared and I felt I should look around for him and after searching a little while I located him in another room. The conditions which existed around him made me very humiliated and I expressed my feelings about the entire matter very explicitly. He tried to explain his conduct, etc., and while I believe, as I remember the dream, I tried to see his side of it, the thought remained that this friend was insincere, and so forth.” (A) In this we find the entity experiencing those conditions in which the body has been warned as regarding those of the opposite sex, and relates directly to the individual as seen - for there has appeared times in the entity’s experience when such relations as were seen in the vision has held the entity aloof from the associations with entity, to the extent of bringing disappointing conditions in the life - yet, would the entity have that same understanding as is visioned, there would come the better understanding, for the entity [is] capable of seeing both sides of the question, and there should never - as the entity sees and feels an expresses self - be two standards for individuals that would be associated, either in friendship or in closer relations - yet there should never be allowed that condition to exist in an entity’s mind to doubt the heart that with true believing would bless that heart with true living, see? Better to understand than to allow that condition of doubt to rancor and become the condition that undermines the mental and the physical association with others.

This then the lesson: Be frank. Be open, and any condition arising between friends should be treated as friends, for with friends, and real friends, there is no NECESSITY of any condition being hidden. To others it does not matter.

4. We are through for the present.

R1. 11/20/26 EC’s letter to [4586]:

Miss [4586] New York City

Dear Miss [4586]:

I have yours of the ninth and the 15th, and as always I was glad to hear from you.

As you will see from the enclosed, we at last found the opportunity to undertake the interpretation of the dream for you. I am certainly in hopes that this proves interesting and worth while, and will prove of as much benefit to you as the interpretations for others have done. I don’t know as I can offer much more explanation than is given, for this seems to be rather personal and to apply to an individual, as well as in a general way and manner, and I feel sure you will be able to put the ends to-gether so that you will have the whole pattern before you. Should there be any questions, I will try and give you my interpretation of same.

As for the supplement Life Reading, Miss [4586], we will not be able to make an appointment before the first of next year, which would make it sometime in the first week in January. If that will be satisfactory, we shall be glad to make the appointment for you.

We are all certainly glad to know that you are feeling good, and that things are going along nicely for you. I’m sure you feel better by having gained some weight and a better physical body seems to be a prerequisite to better mental attitudes towards everything in general.

I want to assure you of my appreciation of your kindly sympathies, for it is the kindly word from our friends that encourages us, even through life’s darkest hours. I still find it very hard to adjust myself. I realize that time and work are the real things that will help, but I think I need different work from THINKING, and I am not in a position to do much else BUT THINK at the present time.

I do not see much hopes at present of my coming north any time soon. Possibly it may be different in the early part of the year.

Edgar Evans had quite a bad accident a few mornings ago. He came down to dress in front of the fire - some way the fire popped out on his pajamas, set him afire, and he was very badly burned from his ankle to his hip, on the right leg. He is getting along though very nicely we think, and we are in hopes he has no ill effects from same. Such things are not tended to quiet one’s already tormented mind.

We are looking forward to Hugh Lynn’s visit home Thanksgiving. That at least makes one bright spot for all of us, for I am sure you already recognize how every member of the family almost worship him.

I hope you will let us hear from you from time to time. We are always glad to hear and certainly appreciate your letters.

A note from Dave a few days ago said he expected to be here to-day, but we’ll count that of course when we see him.

With kindest personal regards from all,

Sincerely, Edgar Cayce EC:GD

R2. 11/22/26 (Monday) [4586]‘s letter to EC:

Dear Mr. Cayce,

Don’t consider this an answer to your wonderful letter of the 20th. I want to answer one part of it immediately! About little Edgar Evans. I was terribly sorry to hear of his accident and can appreciate how you all feel. I hope he is getting along nicely and am enclosing herewith a little note to him. Please give him my love and tell him that I’m thinking about him and hope he will soon feel quite himself again.

The book is going under separate cover to him and I sincerely hope that he will find it helpful in taking his mind off his unfortunate happening.

I’ll write you a note in a day or two, Mr. Cayce, ‘cause I have much to write and tell you.

With the best of wishes to you all, and trusting that you have seen the last of your troubles,

Believe me sincerely, [4586]

R3. 11/23/26 [4586]‘s letter to EC:

Dear Mr. Cayce,

There’s no doubt but that the unexpected is bound to happen! Your letter with the interpretation came as a boomerang! And my! wasn’t that interesting. Do you know that after reading the interpretation I felt almost uncanny! “Immodest” would not be the correct word but it explains what I am going to say: as a rule I am very modest about my decisions that I make which materialize well; I try to be modest in taking credit for certain things, - but I am NOT at all modest when I say that your interpretation was exactly the same as I fathomed it to be! Now tell me, Mr. Cayce, is it not “immodest” to say that??? But truly, you have hit the nail squarely on the head. However, I’m going to hold counsel with you on two points:

You say, “for there APPEARED times in the entity’s experience when such relations as were seen in the vision held the entity aloof from associations with entity to the extent of bringing disappointing conditions in the life”.

Am I to understand from this that these relations as were seen in the vision ACTUALLY EXISTED or did they only SEEM to exist, and did I hold myself aloof of my own volition or did these relations cause the other person to be distant. I am a bit stumped on it.

And, too, you say, “yet there should never be allowed that condition to exist in an entity’s mind to doubt the heart that with true believing would bless that heart with true living”.

I believe I understand this perfectly but I want YOUR version of it. Won’t you give it?

I know you will be interested in hearing something concerning Mrs. […]‘s son, […]. Mrs. […] has a friend [See [2213] series] who is quite interested in Numerology and she gave a reading on […] along these lines. Mrs. […] showed the reading to me and we both were agreeable on the decision that it was practically the same as your reading, worded, of course, differently. It pleased Mrs. […] so much to have two persons, working along entirely different lines, reach practically the same result.

You have no doubt received my little note concerning Edgar Evans. When I dashed this note off to you it was simply with the thought of letting you know how sorry I was to hear of this accident. I hope he is feeling much better when this letter reaches you. I would be interested in hearing what progress he makes.

About the supplementary life reading, yes, book me for the first week in January, please. [See 4586-4.]

By the way, I received the booklet and card and you will hear from me very soon. While I feel my contribution will be but “a drop in the bucket”, so to speak, at the same time I feel every little drop will help.

I can well imagine how happy you will all be to have Hugh Lynn home for Thanksgiving. Please remember me to him. You all have every good reason to worship him. I have mentioned him many times to Dave, saying how much I admired him.

I’m wondering whether you saw Dave on Saturday!! I wonder!

This letter is getting so lengthy I should have written it in chapters. I hope you’ll pardon it’s length and I promise not to get too talkative again.

With best wishes to you all for the holidays, and hoping to hear from you again real soon,

Very sincerely, [4586]

R4. 11/30/26 [4586]‘s letter to EC:

Miss [4586] New York City

Dear Miss [4586]

I want to acknowledge receipt of the book you so kindly sent Edgar Evans. He certainly did appreciate it. I don’t think he stopped until he had read it entirely through, and when he knew it was in the Post Office he didn’t let anyone rest until they went after it, and he was sure he knew just exactly what it was - and I assure you he enjoyed it, and we all appreciate your thoughtfulness. Poor little fellow! He has certainly suffered and is suffering a very great deal from the burn, besides being housed up and unable to move around anyway, except just laying flat on his back. When he has to have the place dressed you can hear him holler a couple of blocks, and I guess it’s a good thing we haven’t any close neighbors - but I don’t blame him, I think I’d holler the same way myself. But we are in hopes he will get along alright, though it is very angry looking and causing lots of pain.

We certainly enjoyed Hugh Lynn’s little stay at home. I’m sure he enjoyed being here. He’s looking mighty well and seems to be getting along very nicely.

Now, regarding yours of the 23rd, I am glad that you found the interpretation interesting and to your way of thinking very accurate. I am sure it is a modest thing to say, that it had been your interpretation - for I believe, Miss [4586], when we consider seriously our minds, waking and asleep, they are wonderful things and are very much akin to our individual conception of the Maker, for Mind is the Builder, whether in the material or the spiritual sense. We have many various nooks and crooks in our minds, or our minds have many various phases and manners and ways of expressing themselves. Our minds not only (in its larger sense) cover the period of our present experience in the earth plane, but the subconscious covers as well ALL our experiences. Dreams, then, are the correlating in an experience our present experiences with our subconscious knowledge, and is therefore a workable thing, if we analyze it in the correct way and manner. Now, I hope I’m not balling this all up for you, but I’m trying to show you, from my experience with the interpretations of various visions and dreams of individuals, as to what a large part dreams do play in our lives, and how consciously or unconsciously they govern our manner of living, depending, of course, upon the intellectual ability of the entity to APPLY same under the existing conditions.

Now “for there appears times in the entity’s experience when such relations as were seen in the vision held the entity aloof from the association with entity to the extent of bringing disappointing conditions in the life,” in view of just what I have said above in explanation of dream, I believe you will gain a little better understanding of what this paragraph meant. These relations MAY HAVE ACTUALLY EXISTED in the MIND of one or the other, and the holding of self aloof, by own volition (for this is will power), caused these to appear to you as being distant. Now, does this clarify this, or dim it more?

You know it’s a very hard thing to try to explain something and not know all of the condition. It would be like trying to describe a photograph to someone who never saw one - for to the eye that has been accustomed to viewing them, they appear as likenesses, giving the contour of the face, while to one not accustomed, or one never having seen one, it’s only a flat piece of paper, with no contour whatever. Do you get the idea?

Now in the next, “yet there should never be allowed that condition to exist in the entity’s mind to doubt the heart that with true believing would bless that heart with true living,” you don’t say just what is your interpretation of this, but my interpretation is this: You had better allow yourself to even be deceived, if being deceived would bless your life with truer living - that is, if you suspect a person to be deceiving you, best not try to analyze the purpose of such deception, if the person means sufficient to you to bless your life with its larger meaning. Now, I admit at first glance this looks like it’s not sound reasoning, but I believe there is really a deeper meaning in this, for after all, putting things into words rarely conveys to another individual just all that is felt in the heart of the one that is trying to say it, and while this is the case in these words, I believe I am sure though you get the meaning entirely. I hope so anyway. If I haven’t, why let me know, and you know I shall be more than glad to try to clarify it further. I am sure we have touched on some very large subjects, and we have only scratched around the outer surface, but their real meaning is apparent.

It’s certainly interesting to know that Mrs. [[2213]‘s stepmother’s] experience with the Numerologist brought very much the same conclusion as was gained through our information. It reminds me very much of an article that appeared in the magazine some months ago, entitled “Can They All Be Wrong?” In this article, a man gives his experience, going to a Numerologist in Boston, a Phrenologist in London, Handwriting Expert in Berlin, Snake Charmer in Arabia, Sand Reader in Egypt, Crystal Gazer in Australia, and a Mind Reader or Psychist in San Francisco, and they all told him the same thing. Not in the same words, to be sure, or same phraseology, but the real message in intent and purpose was the same. But I certainly hope Mrs. […] does find out something more about her boy, because I know the anxiety that the mother must have - yet, more and more we learn, each individual is a whole kingdom within itself, and the Good Book was right when it said, “Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling,” and was equally as right, “Think not on your own things but on those of others.”

The Supplementary Life Reading - we are making the appointment for Monday afternoon, January 10th. I believe it would be well for you to prepare your list of questions.

No, we did not see nor hear anything from Dave. Such a fellow can be SO disappointing at times, to be so wonderful at others! But most things, I believe, are arrived at by experience and comparison.

I hope I haven’t made this TOO long, for it seems you are ever afraid that you WILL write a long letter - but we get on a very interesting subject when we take up any phase of the study of the Mind of Man, and I’m sure that volumes might be written on many of the phases we have referred to in this little paragraph, or paragraphs in your reading - and then not have covered the subject any too well.

Let us hear from you whenever you have the opportunity. We are always glad to hear.

Edgar Evans and all the rest send kindest personal regards.

Sincerely, Edgar Cayce EC:GD

P.S. Edgar Evans says, “Tell Miss [4586] I certainly do thank her, and that I have read it and will write her when I can.”

R5. 12/2/26 [4586]‘s letter to EC:

Dear Mr. Cayce,

I feel I’ll be repeating myself too much if I say I was delighted to have your letter - but you know it’s so!

I feel so sorry for little Edgar Evans. There’s no doubt that he has suffered a great deal. The folks at home were very sorry to hear of it and all send their best wishes for his speedy recovery.

I’m glad he liked the book, and if there is anything I can do to help make him feel a little easier, I’d love to know what it is. Of course, I know he gets all the attention it is humanly possible to give a kiddy, but maybe there’s something in this big city of ours that would sort of make him feel good, so let’s hear it if you have any ideas.

Your explanations are indeed very lucid, Mr. Cayce. I rather like your thought about not trying to analyze the purpose of deceit, IF THERE IS ANY SUCH CONDITION. That old weather-beaten saying, “Ignorance is Bliss” fits in well.

I noticed the other day these words: “Thoughts Are Things”: and they impressed me a great deal. We certainly can put our thoughts into being and from now on I’m going to send a chaser after the next bad thought that creeps into my head! How’s that for putting a lesson into practice!!

Now, about my Life Reading schedule for Jan. 10th. You tell me to prepare a list of questions. How am I to go about this? You will remember we covered this life reading by questions which you answered on there. [See 4586-1 and 4586-2] My thought is asking for another life reading was that maybe conditions may have changed since I had the reading back in June. What are your ideas on this? Of course I could ask a few questions on this life reading but will await your advices before doing so.

I’m sorry Dave disappointed you again. He is very well and busy, as usual. No doubt you will be seeing him soon because I believe he is going to make a trip in your direction. I wish I could down to see you too.

Your letters could NEVER be too long for me, and when I appear to be fearful of writing too long a letter, it is with the thought that I will take up too much of your time and - possibly break the charm!

O, I knew there was something that I had forgotten to say about Edgar Evans. Tell me frankly; are the books that I have been sending him suitable reading for him, or would he like a little higher stuff. I know he is way ahead of his grade although kiddies up to 12 years read these books they may be too light for Edgar. I’d like to know about this.

You will remember I mentioned in my last letter about Mrs.

[…] being acquainted with a Numerologist. Well, she is giving me a reading and when I receive it I am going to send it down to you for your perusal. Would you be interested in reviewing it?

On re-reading this letter it sounds rather “flat” to me - lacking something - but I’ll let it go to you just the same and hope that I’ll be able to put more punch into my next one.

With kindest regards and best wishes to you, Mrs. Cayce, Miss Gladys, and with much love to Edgar Evans,

Sincerely, [4586]

R6. 12/7/26 EC’s letter to [4586]:

Dear Miss [4586]

How do you do to-day? Edgar Evans was certainly properly tickled when I told him you said let you know what he wanted. He says, “Another Oz Book, please!” They have pleased him very much, and I think are very good books for children of his age. He is certainly having a time of it. You can well imagine, I am sure, how it is with him, as active as he has always been, to not be able to even sit up, much less move around, as his burn is so on his left leg that he can’t sit in a chair - running from his ankle to his hip. I think he is constantly on the improve, but I am afraid he won’t be able to get about much before Christmas, if by then. We all certainly appreciate your interest in him, and he threatens several times a day to write to you, but of course can’t make much “out”. He tried to write to his brother, but I think there was three or four days getting his letter done.

Well, I am glad that you liked my idea of the explanation. It’s mighty hard, you know, to say on paper just what we think, for the mood of the individual reading same will have a great deal to do with how it’s understood.

The words, “Thoughts are Things” in the readings are changed considerable. Most of the time it reads, “Thoughts are DEEDS, and may become crimes or miracles.”

The questions that I suggested in your Life Reading, I think should be along the line of what it is you desire to know at the present time, or questions as regarding what effect certain conditions, as were mentioned in the Life Reading, have had or will have in your life - for unless such were asked, I think there would be very little information given, for in the Life Reading I think it outlines that there are certain principles and influences that have to do with an individual life, and one’s own will is the altering factor. Do you get the idea? No word as yet from Dave, though I am of the opinion Dave has gotten kind of “miffed” at some circumstances that have arisen lately, but he, too, will have to learn that one that is a servant of many must serve each in their turn, and that seekers must appreciate others’ position. I am in hopes though that we will see him before very long.

It certainly will be interesting to see your reading from the Numerologist, and I shall appreciate your letting me see a copy of same. It has been very edifying and amusing at times to me, to have individuals send me such readings from various people, and various characters of readings from many parts of the country. We had one very unusual case of this character some months ago. A gentleman [[2749]?] wrote us and asked for a Life Reading, furnishing us the information necessary for same. We gave it and sent it to him, and he wrote us back that he had been giving astrological readings for twenty odd years, but he had never seen anything like that - that while it did not coincide with his own horoscope, as he had cast it, nor agree with reports from other readers that he had interviewed, still he had felt that it was a very remarkable analysis of his life, what he had done with it, and what he would really be capable of doing with it, applied along certain lines - but that he didn’t know just then whether he could accord his life with those lines or not. Some months or so later he wrote us, however, that he believed we were farther seeing, and had given a better prognosis of his life than he had ever seen before.

Well, let us hear from you, Miss [4586], whenever you have the opportunity. We all think of you and speak of you quite often, and are always glad to hear from you.

Mrs. Cayce and Miss Gladys ask to be remembered, and with kindest personal regards, I am

Sincerely, Edgar Cayce EC:GD

R7. 12/9/26 [4586]‘s letter to EC:

Dear Mr. Cayce,

I liked your “How Do you Do Today?” and could have answered right back - “Nicely, thank you” - because that’s the way I felt!

You just bet that as soon as I get over to the bookstore Edgar Evans will have another “Oz” book to add to his collection. Nothing could please me more than to know that he enjoyed the books and wants more of ‘em! Please give him my love and tell him that I would be “tickled pink” to receive a note from him whenever he feels well enough to write.

Well, winter has come - and I don’t like it. Guess I was naturally made for the south! We had quite a heavy snow-fall and on top of that some rain - coating the snow with about two inches of ice. I want to go on record right now that it was pretty mean walking and I was very much afraid that I’d have the props pulled from under me several times, but managed to keep up somehow. Yesterday it was miserable but today is glorious, cold snappy and wonderful!

Yes Sir, the Numerologist read me and enclosed is what she says! Pretty nice in spots. There are several places where she tells me the same as you did. Maybe you’ll recognize some of the nice things you said about me!!! I’d be very interested in having you tell me truthfully what you think about it. You know you’re in position to tell me more about myself than anyone else, - having “read” me - met me, etc!

About the list of questions for the life reading - I’ll have to give this some thought. Maybe Dave will give me some of his able assistance on this. However, you may be sure that we will dig up enough for you to answer!!

I had a letter from a friend of mine in Norfolk - someone I met while I was in Virginia in the summer - and a very “urgent” invitation is extended to re-visit Virginia. Now maybe one of these days your telephone will be jingling and you’ll hear my voice! that’s if I can steal the time!

We are very busy here at the office but I manage to keep my head above water - just about. Last night when I reached home I was so tired I thought I wanted to go right to sleep but I was wrong. I’m mentally tired - not physically - and instead of going to sleep we went to theatre and I felt tip-top.

I could talk on forever, I guess, but there are many things to do this morning.

Please remember me to everyone, and with all good wishes, believe me

Sincerely, [4586]

P.S. You will notice I haven’t said my usual closing “hoping to hear from you real soon” - BUT THAT GOES WITHOUT SAYING!!

R8. 12/21/26 EC’s letter to [4586]:

Dear Miss [4586]

You will see by the note enclosed the time we undertook to answer your letter - but two times already we have been stopped just at the point where we started in. I think each time it has been taken out of the machine and deferred for a more convenient season. But I’m in hopes we’ll make it this time.

I don’t know what to say this morning, for I am surely not in a letter writing mood. I have most too many aches and pains myself and they are dressing Edgar Evans’ leg again, and if you could hear him hollering you would understand that scarcely anyone could keep an even tenor under such strain. While he’s a whole lot better, still he’s not going to be able to be on his feet, even by Christmas morning. Of course this is bad, and it doesn’t make any of us feel much like Christmas, though we realize we have very, very much to be thankful for, and it is a time when we should strive to make others happy - no matter what the pain may be in our own hearts.

We have Hugh Lynn with us though, and that will help some, though naturally we always feel like that Christmas is the children’s season.

Well, I guess you all HAVE had some winter! But I guess it’s a whole lot better now - it has been real cold HERE, but this morning it’s close to the sixty degree mark - but a dark murky looking day.

Well, we had Dave with us. I guess you have seen him though since. We certainly did enjoy having him, as we always do. He is just as full of ideas, ideals, and misgivings, as ever. But there are mighty few, if any, like Dave.

Yes, be sure and get up the questions for the Life Reading, and I’m sure if you see Dave, as you say, there’ll be enough of them! but we want to get that which will be worth while.

You know, it seems to me, Miss [4586], there’s something almost uncanny about your numerologist reading. To my mind it would be hard to imagine two readings any nearer alike without some comparisons having been made, which I know, of course, was hardly possible to have been done. I guess it certainly points out to you that “Thoughts are things,” and that our real selves are not really hidden any more than the music is, if you are provided with a pretty good radio. I certainly appreciate your sending it. I have never seen one before - but it is marvelous how one gains such an insight into an individual’s life. Naturally, it makes me wonder what their modus operandi is.

We shall certainly be very glad if we do have the opportunity of hearing your voice over the phone. We are very much in hopes that you won’t forget this very long if you do get to Norfolk, and we hope that we will not only hear your voice but that we’ll see you in person.

Next time you write, why you let the talk run on for two or three pages - and I’m hoping that I will be feeling so well by the next time I write that you’ll get tired before you get through reading.

All here wish to be remembered to you, and wishing you a Merry, Merry Christmas, and a Happy and Prosperous New Year, I am

Sincerely, Edgar Cayce EC:GD

R9. 12/27/26 [4586]‘s letter to EC:

My dear Mr. Cayce:

Every now and then my conscience pricks me - because I just feel sometimes that you have so much work to do that it is unfair to keep inviting letters from you - but I just can’t help it!

I’m so sorry that you have not been up to par in health and hope that you are quite yourself on receipt of this letter. I can well imagine that if you are not feeling 100 per cent yourself, hearing poor little Edgar Evans while he is having his leg dressed would hardly help things in the right direction. His case has certainly been a long, drawn out affair, hasn’t it. I’m hoping he’s coming around all right now.

Wasn’t that fine to have Hugh Lynn home for Christmas. If he’s still home, will you please tell him that I have not been able to find the graphologist’s name as yet. No doubt the reading was lost in the shuffle of moving. I have looked in every nook and corner but without success. However, it may turn up sometime when I have my back turned. I will drop Hugh Lynn a note in a day or two.

I’m so glad that Dave finally reached 115 West 35th St! You see I knew he was going to Asheville but I did not want to say anything about it in my letter to you - altho I had a bunch he would stop off and see you - because he might have disappointed again! When he came home he told me that he saw you all. I agree with you - he’s chock-a-block full of ideas, ideals, etc., and he IS a wonderful Dave. I think a great deal of him.

He told me all about Edgar Evans - and I’m proud that Edgar Evans will allow me to be considered “his girl”. He’s been my “little boy” ever since I was in Virginia Beach and I’m mighty pleased if it’s mutual now!

I showed Dave your last letter and, of course, he’s always glad to read them. He told me, too, that you showed him the numerologist’s reading! You stole a march on me! HE WAS WAY AHEAD OF ME - THIS TIME!!

The other day we attempted to make up a list of questions for my life reading - and I’m sure you will recognize that Dave had a finger in the pie! However, you must give him credit for this much - he can make up SOME list. I told him that we wanted worth while questions - and he thinks these are ALL worth while. Now I’m looking forward to January 10th!

All of us at home had a wonderful Christmas. I think this was one of the best years I ever had - just full of surprises. The only thing that helped to spoil things was the fact that Mother was not as well as she should be. While she didn’t complain much, at the same time it was very evident that she could have felt lots better.

I guess one of the first things I’ll do when I make an appearance in Norfolk is to telephone you folks. I did so want to make a trip down there between Christmas and New Year’s but that doesn’t seem possible now. I rather had it all set in my own mind about going down but I could not have all the time I want for that trip on account of the office here. It would hardly be worth while to have only two days, so I better put it off until it will be more convenient.

I hope Edgar Evans’ book reached him in good order. It might be well to let me know which Oz books I have sent down to him so there will be no duplication. I have sort of forgotten one or two of the editions he has. If he wold like any other kind of reading I’d love to know it - rather than send something that is not entirely pleasing to him. I’m enclosing a little note to him in answer to his letter to me.

Mrs. [2213]‘s stepmother has asked me to express her best wishes to you for the New Year. She asks for you many times.

Here’s something I have wanted to say to you in my last few letters but somehow it slipped thru without being covered. Do you get WMCA station on your radio clearly? Some friends of mine broadcast every Sunday between 2:30 and 3:30 through WMCA and I’d love to talk to you if you get WMCA clearly. They have been inviting me down to watch the broadcasting and I’d take advantage of the invitation if I knew I could do a bit of broadcasting myself!

All the folks at home send their best wishes to you all for the new year, and I hope that 1927 will bring forth everything in the way of health, prosperity and happiness to each and every one of you.

Very sincerely, [4586]
