This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his home on Arctic Crescent, Virginia Beach, Virginia, this 6th day of September, 1934, in accordance with request made by the brother-in-law, Mr. [...], new Associate Member of the Ass'n for Research & Enlightenment, Inc., recommended by Messrs. Max Hagedorn and R. J. Kriechbaum.

Present: Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. Mildred Davis, L. B. and Hugh Lynn Cayce. Mt. Sinai

TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body, [651]. [EC repeated several numbers in undertone. Room numbers, perhaps?]
2. Now, as we find, there are responses being had in the applications that are being made for a very disturbing and troublesome condition.
3. The body having passed through a strain of the nature that produced a thinning of the walls of the membranes in portions of the system, allowed the segregation of the activities in the circulation to bring about the accumulations in such ways, such measures, that the inflammation that arises is from the pressures by these swellings.
4. This, then, in this response in the present should be the most satisfactory; and we would not alter these things under the existent conditions or surroundings - for this would only make for a turmoil in the activities of those that have at present been given the charge of the applications for the material conditions and the physical forces of the body in the present.
5. When in six weeks there are those changes that will necessarily come about, and it becomes necessary for those activities for the body for the regaining of the control of itself through the functioning of the organs and the locomotions of the body, and the activities of the brain forces as coordinating with same, we may give that which may be helpful and beneficial to the body but not under the existent surroundings.
6. Ready for questions.
7. Do those things, then, that are being administered; with that attitude that all that can be accomplished under the existent conditions with the physical body is being met in the present. Later there may be aid in other directions.
8. We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

1. 9/04/34 Brother-in-law's letter: "He is now at Mt. Sinai Hospital and will be there for the next few weeks. Will you kindly send his reading to me as soon as possible."

REPORTS

1. 9/06/34 Ltr. to Mr. [...]:
   Dear Mr [...]:-
   As you will see, probably due to the fact that Mr. [651] is in a hospital and already under the diagnosis and treatment there, no change is suggested by the reading under six weeks.
   So, at the end of that time, or when Mr. [651] gets out of the hospital and is able to have recuperative measures administered, please let us know and we will be glad to get a reading then - without any further financial obligation to you, of course; for the present enclosed status of conditions through the reading is not considered by us as a reading for Mr. [651]; merely a putting off for a more propitious time to give the information that may be most helpful.
   We seldom find it worth while to give a reading for an individual already in a hospital, as there is so little chance of getting any treatment followed that might be suggested; since doctors (and we can't blame them for it) have a way of wanting to do their own diagnosing and treating.
   Please let us know about this, and we will be glad to make another appointment for Mr. [651] when you feel the time is right to be in a position to follow whatever procedure might be recommended through the reading.
   We are glad to know that he is responding to the best care possible under the circumstances.
   Expecting to hear from you soon, and assuring you of our great desire to be of a service wherever and whenever possible, I am
   Sincerely,
   [signed] Gladys Davis Secretary to Edgar Cayce
