This Psychic Reading given by Edgar Cayce at his office, 115 West 35th Street, Virginia Beach, Va., this 24th day of October, 1925, in accordance with request made by no one - an involuntary reading, which came without suggestion being given to obtain it, immediately following two dream interpretation readings for Mrs. [136] and Mr. [341].

[Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. Hugh Lynn Cayce and Miss Estella Smith.]

Time of Reading Bosque County, 1:30 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. Texas.

1. EC: Now, we have here the well being drilled on the lands of Madison Byron Wyrick, in Bosque County, Texas. This we find is now progressing more satisfactorily and that the hard formation in which they have entered is that above the production that they seek. So there is only the necessity now of keeping in that way as given, and when this formation has been passed (seems Monday again, see?), we will find there that which will bring the large production to this endeavor, producing then, for each dollar invested, fifteen hundred (1500) for each one, see?

2. Then keep in that as given, making this slow, being careful of the tools in keeping same full in their temper and in their full size, for with the setting of other conditions for production, this will be found necessary, that same be in the best of condition. The production will come. Keep, then, in that way as given.

3. We are through.

R2. 10/24/25 EC’s letter to M. B. Wyrick:

115 West 35th Street, Virginia Beach, Va.,

Dear Mr. Wyrick:-

Yours of the 21st received just a little while after we had gotten the reading this afternoon. Judging from the reading, I don’t know as anybody would believe this (unless it is you), for it certainly was surprising to us to get it. We also sent you a reading on the 19th, which I am sure you must have had before this. It still looks mighty good and I can’t help but be expecting Monday to have a wire from you that she’s “over the top,” and I certainly hope that we shall not be disappointed. We did not, however, receive the copy of messages from Mr. Martin as you said was enclosed. I guess this was just left out by an oversight.

Regarding the battery appliance, I am glad that you have gotten same, and as I mentioned to you while you were in Dayton last, knowing your abilities in connection with electric appliances of different natures, I felt if you and Mr. Brown could get together on this, you might be of mutual benefit to each in regarding this. I don’t know whether these have ever been made up just right or not. I do know though that some of them that have been made, they have gotten results from them. Whether it is from imagination or not, I don’t know, but I am sure in the case of my wife, and that’s the one Mr. Brown made, that it has done her a wonderful lot of good, but I’m enclosing you copy of the reading in reference to same, made for Mr. Brown on July 13th [See 195-15]. Also copy of a subsequent reading we had regarding the construction of this [See [1800] series]. I’ll be mighty glad for you to go over this and offer any suggestion you may have to make regarding same. I certainly am in hopes that you are going to get some results from the use of this and I believe that you will, but of course I know you won’t if its not constructed on the right line.

I’m glad to say we are all fairly well here. Nothing especially new or interesting going on. We are gradually getting straightened out, yet as you will see from our plain paper, we haven’t gotten in regular running order as yet, but we hope a little by little that we’ll get things in shape and be going alright after awhile.

Thanking you for your letter, asking that you let us her from you whenever that you have the opportunity, and whenever any of these little set-backs come up, don’t hesitate to call on us, for we’d like to be of help, you know, if its possible. We thank you for letting us know about the well, and with kindest personal regards from everyone here,

Sincerely, Edgar Cayce EC:GD
