TEXT

1. GC: You will have before you the psychic work as done by Edgar Cayce, with the information as has been given regarding the locating of the work at Virginia Beach, Virginia. Now, it has been given that when Edgar Cayce was here we should ask questions concerning what should be done. Now, we would like to ask regarding property for Edgar Cayce and the Association. Also for those connected with same, especially Gladys Davis, and would ask that all information concerning same be given us at this time, giving any definite places that should be considered, and why, and you will answer any questions I will ask you.
2. EC: Yes, we have the information as has been given through these forces as regarding the psychic work and its propagation from Virginia Beach, Virginia.
3. Now, as is seen in the study of the information as has been given, that, had that as given been followed out, there would have been sufficient means, through the NATURAL increase that has come to the property in the vicinity of Virginia Beach, for the full propagation of the work.
4. Now, at the present time, with the body located near there, we find that the speculative interests in and about Virginia Beach are at their beginning, while there will be from fifty to a thousand percent advance in property in the various parts of the country adjacent to these lands. Then, as the speculative interest, this would then be good investment for anyone. As to the specific places, as has been given, there will be many changes before the definite place is established; yet in ANY place, even such as where the body is now located, would be WELL, and of the value that would in two years, see? be an advance of more than three times in value, and this then would be good as an investment, as well as a place to begin from.
5. As to property for Association, as has been given, that along or near the outskirts or edge of the corporate limits, on or near 26th to 24th Street, extending toward the car line, see? Any of this would prove to be excellent property for such an institution, or any lying between North Virginia Beach and Cape Henry, in the edge of the sand hills.
6. As to property for those who may be interested in same, any that may be taken at the present prices even, of vacant property, may be of value as the increase speculation begins, for with the completion of the hotel resorts, and the playgrounds, there will be a large inflow of permanent and of winter transient, and this will enhance the values and will bring large returns on investments.
7. As to that of the specific nature, as regarding Gladys Davis, we find there has much been given as respecting this, but with the general information as given, it will be seen that the value of property will increase. Then why not take advantage of same?
8. As to questions regarding the work and its development, the prices as are quoted are apparently high, yet, as has been given, these will increase for the next thirty to forty years in value, as has been given, see?
9. Ready for questions.
10. (Q) Would it be well, then, that Gladys Davis consider purchasing the place or the house she looked at today on 24th Street?
    (A) Answer self, from that as given.
11. (Q) Which would be the better place for Edgar Cayce to consider - the place he occupies at present or the house and lot he looked at this morning on 24th Street?
    (A) The one on 35th Street will advance forty percent to the other ten.
12. That is all the questions.
