This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce in Dayton, Ohio, this 18th day of August, 1924.

[Edgar Cayce; (?), Conductor; (?), Steno.]

Time of Reading Unknown. …, Alabama.

1. (Q) (?): Should [4646] marry at this time and whom should he marry? (A) EC: Just yet, no. In the very near future, yes, and it should be the one that he has the heart affection for, for she is more capable of making his life happy for him, and he is much better suited for that one and the days that are to come from this union will be many, and many pleasant ones. Just as soon as he has his life work cut out for himself, then consider it the proper time, for she will be a great help in the time of storm and trouble as well in the hours of joy.

2. (Q) Should [4646] follow as his life’s work the career of the stage or Pictures or should he take up the work of a Neuropath. (A) There are many phases of these questions to consider, and his qualifications of each should be considered. His natural adaptability for the work as an artist is fine, but there are others that must be considered also as well as his own health. He is also of the temperament that when once set in the endeavor of the Neuropath he will make a great success. Then we would say, all things considered, the profession of the Neuropath would be the greater field, the greater possibilities for more points of view than the Artist, and then the good that will come to himself for the service rendered others will bring a satisfaction that will be hard to find in any other way. Do that. The field of endeavor in that line is large and the natural recourses that are offered [4646] at this time would especially fit him for that work in a way that would make of him unexcelled in that field. Then why banter health, home, family, and the host of friends for the pleasure of fame for a while.

We would give, be the best Neuropath above everything.

3. We are through.

P.O. Box 463 Dayton, Ohio

Dear [4646]:

Sure was glad to hear your voice even once again sure do wish you could have stopped over even for a few hours, or have let me know you were coming and could have been at the depot, for would have liked to have talked with you a while.

Now [4646] I don’t know much about the questions as you have asked me. The 1st one of course can easily be gotten, any way am sending you what was gotten today and just hope you can work it out so that it will be worth a lot to you, I tell you what you should do tho and you will be working towards both ends, seems to me. You should take hold of this work with me and help me get this started in a way that will be a great good to all humanity and will make us both independent, also give you an insight to the very work that you should devote your life to, that is, take the place of manager for me, go in advance and make the appointments for me and then help out there for a few weeks and then go on to the next place until we get started right in some place by getting the Institution established some where. Wouldn’t you like that? I know you can do it and are just the man for it, wish we could have talked it all over. Any way, let me know what you think of such a plan and be sure and let me hear from you more often than you have. Am enclosing, as said, what was gotten, these as you see were asked in questions, and you will see how they were asked.

Asking that you remember me very kindly to your Mother, with kindest regards to yourself

Sincerely Edgar Cayce

Mr. Edgar Cayce, P.O. Box 463, Dayton, Ohio

Dear Mr. Cayce,

Just received your letter and I appreciate your kindness more than I can say. As you probably know I am a great believer in you and what you “get” and my second questions is settled! The first, I don’t know. Not to know one’s mind is a terrible affliction but from what was “gotten” I don’t know whether it’s to be Louise or Gladys. Enough of that however.

Your offer of making me your manager is very generous and I think if I am capable that I will take it. I would like to know some of the definite facts, what is it I am to do, get and etc. I know only in a general way.

There are at least four people whom I think want a reading here and I am wondering whether or not you might make a visit to Selma and see these people. Of course there might be more who would take a reading and who want one, but these are people whom I am sure are very anxious to see you. Can you let me know about this at an early date? Maybe, should you find it convenient to come down, this will be opportunity to discuss your offer and “our” plans.

Thanking you again and again, I anxiously await your answer.

Very sincerely, [4646]

Mr. [4646] …, Alabama

Dear [4646]

I have yours of the 20th and I’m very glad to hear from you. I do not know whether it is possible for me to go into every phase of the work, as I should, before we would undertake a thing of this kind, or not, unless we were where we could talk this all over, for of course since I have been giving my whole time to the work there have been many conditions and circumstances that have arisen that make the work of such a nature that it is possible for it to develop very big all of a sudden. Then again it might be that it would drag along considerable before such a thing could happen. I believe the best thing to do would be for you to get on the train and come to see me, for we have some fields that are just now opened for us to work, and it needs the head and management that I believe you are capable of, to make the thing work out right. As you know, perhaps, I have disposed of my interests in Selma. Consequently, will not be that way again soon, unless you should feel that the field is big enough for us to begin work in Montgomery at once, and there make sufficient to go on to the other fields that will be necessary for the next six months or a year. It might be very well for us to get things set from that viewpoint and angle; that is, from Montgomery, where we might have the influence and the experience of your Mother’s efforts. You might talk this over with her, which no doubt you have, see just what she thinks of it. This seems to me would be the plan and the way that it should be worked. To be sure, we will have to go from one place to another and that makes heavy expenses to be sure, but we can outline a definite plan as to how this should be worked and when we go to a town or a city you make the preparations for the handling of the work there, be present for the first few weeks, or however long it is necessary, leaving just in time to make the preparations at the next town. We would then, as soon as we were organized, each man handle his own expenses and we split the proceeds three ways, for of course it is necessary for us to have a stenographer that can handle the work as it would be for either of us. But, as I said, it’s a hard thing to talk this thing over in a letter. You’ll just have to come up here and let’s get it straight. Of course, it’s necessary that we make the work pay for itself, and that we interest such people in it that are able to pay to help those who are not able to help themselves. That I believe you know how to do.

Let me hear from you right away and know how soon you can come. Please remember me to your Mother. I am,

Yours sincerely, Edgar Cayce EC:GD

R4. 8/24/24 (Sunday) [4646]‘s letter:

Dear Mr. Cayce-

I am very much enthused over the prospects of being able to really do good through being connected with you in your work. Wrote you a letter two or three days ago but haven’t had time to get a reply from you as yet. The reason for this letter is that my exultation mounts higher and higher over the anticipation of a future of good work, and plans for the furtherance of the Institute come to me with the rapidity of sparks from a beating anvil. There is no reason why, with your wonderful power, that the Institute could not be placed on the firmest of foundations and, in the years to come serve as a monument to the unselfishness of one man and the crowning glory of victory over the ravages of disease. Never have I felt such - THE urge, the unquestionable command, as I have in answering your offer to help. I anxiously await your word.

Sincerely, [4646]

P.O. Box 463, Dayton, Ohio

Dear [4646]:

Yours of the 24th passed my letter. I had expected perhaps to hear from you before this. I understand that your Mother has two of the patients I have given readings for [[259] & [711]] recently. I’d like to know just how she found conditions, and you have an excellent opportunity to again see the demonstrations of the forces as I exercise through the phenomena.

I expect to go to Columbus, Ohio, the first of the week, to be at the New Southern Hotel. If you can get a chance, or the opportunity, to run up to see me wish you’d do so. If not, write me fully just what you think about how the things should be conducted, carried on; that is the thing I wanted to talk to you about more than anything else.

Thanking you for your letter, and hoping to see you or hear from you real soon, I am

Sincerely, Edgar Cayce EC:GD

R7. 10/24 Mother’s letter:

Montgomery, Ala.

My Dear Mr. Cayce,

[4646] is very anxious to take up work with you, and I want to ask your plans about the work. I know you will be glad to ans. me. One thing is, will his work begin there when he comes, or what city will you work first.

He has Fla in view for winter thinks you could do a big work at Tampa, and other Florida towns, but maybe you have already mapped out your territory. Please write me with regard to this, as he would not like to be on expenses if not at work. A serious matter has called [4646] to his brother and I take this means of telling you he is planning to be with you. He will be back in a few days; by Saturday probably. I firmly believe that [4646] is ideally suited for this work. The experience gained through contact with my work here will no doubt prove a great help both to him and you.

We have a very good recommendation in the improvement of the […] children [[259] & [711]]. [4646] prepared a letter which will state the detail of their cases and will send it to you as soon as he returns. I am enclosing a picture of the baby [711] who had not walked prior to coming here for 6 weeks. Its improvement dates from the day your directions were first carried out. IT IS a WONDERFUL CASE.

Hoping I hear from you by the time he returns, I am, Very Sincerely Yours, […]

R8. 12/15/24 EC’s letter to [4646]‘s mother:

P.O. Box 463, Dayton, Ohio

Mrs. […]

My dear Mrs. […]

Not having heard from you in some time, I thought I’d drop you a line to find out how you’re getting along, how everything is going, and know what [4646] has decided to do regarding his work as yet. I’m in hopes that he has been able to decide on something and that things are working out nicely for him. I presume he must have taken up the work in Tampa, as seemingly to me that was the thing for him to do. I’d like to know how Mrs. [2457]‘s little girl [711] is getting along, and if she is still on the improve. Also I understand there is the likelihood of another case from Selma that will be brought to you right soon, if they haven’t already come in. If at anytime there should be any condition which you would like to check up on, I should be very glad for you to make a list of the questions and let us go over the case again and see if I can be of help.

When [4646] was here, he asked that I lend him two or three readings of different characters. He said that he would return same. We did not have time to make copies; consequently, took them out of our files. If you have these, I shall be very glad if you will return them, or you desire copies of them, why you may have copies made and return the original, as we do not like to have these broken from our files. Very often we have to make reference to them.

Thanking you for attending to this at once, and with kindest personal regards to you and [4646] I am

Sincerely, Edgar Cayce EC:GD

R10. 5/30/29 (Thursday) [4646]‘s letter:

…, Calif.

Mr. Edgar Cayce Virginia Beach, Va.

My dear Mr. Cayce:

No doubt you will be surprised to hear from me in California but this little world is becoming smaller each year. I am working in the picture business, writing theme songs and scenarios. I find it most interesting at all times. I trust that you and yours have been blessed with good health and a goodly share of happiness these last few years since I’ve seen you. I would like to know something of your good work again. This country is ideal for such a work as yours. Many people of great service to the world are without means of carrying on their respective work because of poor health and would welcome you with open arms, allotting to you the great appreciation you so richly deserve. However, this letter was not intended to try to persuade your leaving those good people in Virginia. No point of this letter? Thanks. Mr. Cayce, I remember a scenario you wrote one, call I believe, “Bride of the Incas” [See [4908] series]. Now I am in the position to place original scenarios, and if I am not offending you by suggesting you send me this old scenario to sell on commission, I’ll urge you to do so, and by Air Mail. Of course, with the advent of the talkies, the thing would have to be worked over with dialogue. You could do this, or I might attempt it. It will take about 5 or 6 days to reach me, and if you care for complete protection on your story, would advise your registering title and synopsis in copyright office, Library of Congress, with your name and address. This is a very simple procedure. IN the event you would care to write more of them I believe I could place them and at nice money. My commission would be the customary 20% and they would bring from 5000. to 10000. each provided lyric for theme song accompanies scenario. PLEASE LET ME HEAR FROM YOU BY RETURN AIR MAIL, OR WIRE ME, WHICH IS BETTER. With the very best of good wishes, I am,

Your friend, [4646]

P.S. Please excuse this hasty letter.

R11. 6/10/29 EC’s letter:

Dear [4646]:

Yours of 30th to hand and am today mailing you the copy of the story “A Bride of the Inca” [See [4908] series]. Of course I feel this can be made into a good picture, for the story is much more original to my mind than some that I have disposed of and seen on the screen.

For a Talkie know this would have to be changed a good deal but am sure you can do that also. This was copyrighted some time ago and have been waiting for the proper time to dispose of it, and then you happened along.

Am also sending you a copy of the booklet of the Hospital. This will give you some idea of the work here, going very nicely. Open now two months, have had 19 patients; so far all but one have gone home well, three there now.

Let me hear from you. See what can be done with this and we possibly can get many more original stories where this came from. I will expect you to look after my personal interests as a friend and co-worker in the matter.

With kindest personal regards

Sincerely, [signed] Edgar Cayce

B1. 16/27 (Saturday night) [4646]‘s Letter:

Written on Lon [?] train

To Mr. Edgar Cayce P.O. Box 462 [?]

Phone Main 1492-J

Dear Mr. Cayce:-

You will of course pardon this means of communicating with you, but it’s the only way to get this to you in a hurry. I wish I could have stopped over in Dayton but it was utterly impossible at this time. I would have enjoyed seeing you & you would have enjoyed seeing how well I look AND AM! THANKS TO YOU. Concerning what troubles me - I will make it as brief as possible (The train rocks dreadfully making it hard to get anything down). The whole situation is this: Two roads lead from the point I stand - I don’t know which to take. There are two girls - both of whom are fine and I’m interested in both but in such a different way. One I think it would be an injustice for me to marry and the other I think I would be happiest with, could make her happier and yet I love her in such a strange way. Enough of the girls now; and I’ll tell you the rest. I am facing going into Neuropathy as a profession or following my calling for the stage. I don’t know what to do. I must decide by the first of the month or sooner. I appeal to you who have helped me in the past for guidance. You see I want to do the thing that I’d be most successful at so that I may repay to SOME degree the sacrifice & love my mother has shown me. Mr. Cayce, will you, won’t you advise me what I must follow and what course to take? I RELY WHOLLY ON YOUR JUDGMENT.

Sincerely, [4646]
