-
(Q) To whom shall I send my manuscript “Eel Pie”, that it may be produced by the Universal or Warner Film Co.? (A) To Roth of the Warner Film, or to Lehman of the Universal - either of these would consider the manuscript. David Roth or Samuel Lehman.
-
(Q) If the manuscript is published or screened, what will be the effect on my husband? (A) That would depend upon the manner in which self presented the circumstances as concerning same, the manner and presented as to why such was done. If presented in the manner, not as irrespective of his wishes - but rather as a means of finding expression of self and self’s abilities, to aid in the circumstances and conditions as SURROUND self from every standpoint. The abilities of the entity, as has been given, should not go for naught - nor should the entity, or the body, consider self or self alone in WHATEVER self may attempt to do. There IS a way in which self may PRESENT self’s abilities, that would make for a wholehearted cooperation between the two. There IS a way that would make for a division, and contentions. Do it properly!
-
(Q) Shall I send it as it is, or make changes? (A) Send it as it is. The necessary changes for production may be made by those producing same.
-
(Q) Should I have it edited by Agnes M. Reeve? (A) Not NECESSARILY.
-
(Q) Shall I sign my own name to the manuscript? (A) That as desired. Own name or pen name.
-
(Q) If accepted, will I have regrets? (A) That depends upon the manner in which self reacts to same!
-
(Q) Do you advise that I take a short story course from Columbia University? (A) Short story study course would be well!
-
(Q) In regard to my husband, what shall he now do? Where should he apply for a position? (A) As we find, with the ideas as the body has as respecting some improvements that may be made in the fields of endeavor, would these be made to - or WITH - those of the Majestic people, would be an opening, and a satisfactory one, provided worked in a proper way and manner - see?
-
(Q) Should he give all his time to his last invention? (A) That would depend upon the necessity of making the connection, or the MANNER in which a connection is made. This may be made in such a way and manner that most of the time may be given and STILL perfect, or MAKE for satisfactory arrangements all around.
-
(Q) How can he market it, and when? (A) This is the manner, as has been given!
-
(Q) Can he do anything with his remedy for athletes’ foot? (A) This may be best worked through some of those channels where such is needed, with specific trainers in different fields, as with those in connection with institutions such as McFadden’s, or such as Leonard’s (?), or the like - see?
-
We are through for the present.

Reports & Follow-up
R1. 1/26/32 Form letter urging renewal of membership was sent to Mrs. [5594].
R2. 2/3/33 Letter: ”…Will you please take my name from your records? I do not wish literature sent me.
“Though I respect your good intentions, what you have told me is absolutely wrong…”
Background
Background
B1. 11/21/31 Mrs. [5594] submitted questions [see Text of Reading, 5594-2]: “Will there be a change soon in the management of General Motors Radio Corporation? When? Who will be the next manager? How and when will my husband be allowed to place his money with ‘the Manager’s Investment’…”
B2. 11/30/31 Letter: ”…I am enclosing a money order for $10 for the appointment you so kindly saved for my questions. I have had two readings previous to this [2668-1 for her young daughter and 5594-1 for herself] and feel that I had value received for each. However, I cannot at this time fill in the blank that you sent for membership for your association. It is quite evident from the questions I asked that my husband knows nothing of this reading. The manuscript I am asking about was written three years ago. It was not written for publication, but I don’t seem to write anything else as long as I have it in my attic, and anything that is labored over as that was isn’t easy to destroy. It is for this reason, I am consulting you. What shall I do with the manuscript?…”
B3. 12/3/31 Letter: ”…Will you please change all the business questions about my husband which I included in my request for a reading? A very sudden development in business makes it necessary for my husband to leave his present position immediately. I would now ask - What shall he do? Where should he apply for a position? Should he give all his time to his last invention? How can he market it, and when? Can he do anything with his remedy for athletes’ foot? Any help in this present crisis will be greatly appreciated…”
B4. 12/5/31 EC’s letter: ”…It isn’t, Mrs. [5594], that we want to induce you to prescribe to something you do not care for, but in complying with the rules or our association (by whom I am employed), we can only give information to those who are members of the association! That is why Miss Davis asks that you sign the application that was sent to you. So, we are again asking that you sign this, so we may make an appointment…”
B5. 12/7/31 Letter: ”…Thank you for your letter explaining about the application blank. I am enclosing it, and hoping that I may have the appointment for December 11. I will be at home all morning…”
