TEXT

1. GC: You will have before you the data that I hold in my hand, as has been compiled and written regarding the work of Edgar Cayce. You will tell us whether this is in its proper shape and form (when corrections are made) for distribution. Or, you will tell us any corrections that should be made in same, how same should be distributed, and any other information regarding same that would be for the benefit of the propagation of the phenomena as manifested through Edgar Cayce.
2. EC: Yes, we have the data here. Corrections and printing in a form for distribution would be necessary. As to the data itself, this is very good in many respects. There may be many corrections made. However, this is that as is necessary to be given out, given to those who, in one manner or form, have been in touch or contact with the work in any way. Through same there will be found that it will be requested from many that much OTHER data concerning same be distributed from time to time. And THIS, as we see, should be added even in this. Then distribute, as given, to those who may be, or who have been in any manner, directly or indirectly interested in that force as is exercised in the phenomena manifested through Edgar Cayce. See?
3. As to that as may be given for assistance: As we see, this had best be given as the conditions command or need. First, as given, commence. Then these should be prepared and distributed, with that additional, as WE see at present. We are through.

BACKGROUND

1. Previously he obtained rdgs of many different types, including general rdgs. on research areas of the EC work - such as the [1800] series, etc.

4. 1/16/26 EC submitted a sort of diary manuscript he had dictated on his work, to see if it was worthy of being printed to distribute in an effort to acquaint new people with his gift. [This had been encouraged by Mr. [195] who was also working on a promotional piece about the Life Rdgs., as per advice in 254-27, Par. 3-A.]

REPORTS

1. 1/30/26 Mr. [195] wrote: "Read over the history of your experiences and found it very interesting, but there are one or two suggestions I would want to make if you had certain ideas in putting out such a booklet. Will go over these when I see you, which I hope will be soon."
2. 3/16/26 EC's letter: "You know we were talking about that little pamphlet [when you were here]. I sent a copy of it to my friend M. B. Wyrick, so he proceeded to have it published." [See 4905-55, Par. R3 for Cayce Introductory Booklet.]
3. 5/22/26 Mr. [195] wrote: "Again let me say the Cayce pamphlet is just what is needed. Get last two issues of Collier's - Evangeline Adams' articles. We should get up one on Reincarnation and tell your story."

5. 8/14/26 Mr. [195]'s letter to EC:
   "I have your several letters of recent date and enjoyed very much that reading on former appearances of Dr. [5618] [5618-8]. It will be a pleasure to meet him and I hope that he will be there when I arrive.
   "The readings I suggested [195-32, 195-33, etc.] can wait until my arrival. Hope to leave here on about the 26th if possible and at the same time convenient to you...
   "The more one reads the different Life Readings the deeper the thoughts become. When we have had a chance to read many Life Readings and study them from all angles we will ask at a reading the questions that evolve from our study and I am sure a different vista will be unfolded to us from which, maybe, a formula or picture may e presented in such a way depicting life such that it will be a work of great benefit to humanity.
   "My kindest regards to Cayce household." Sincerely [195]
   [GD's note: Above letter was also copied under 5618-8 Reports.]
