849]'s letter to EC:
Dear Eddie:
Thank you for your letter, and also for the reading, which
verified our own observations that I am becoming better. I
have been able to exercise myself somewhat, and have made a
start on the rowing machine exercise which was recommended.
I do a portion of it while sitting on the side of the bed,
and I have had a panel put on the wall from which ropes are
strung to the bed. With these I am pulling myself up, and it
is strengthening my arms and my back. The general condition
in the right hip and leg continues to improve slowly, and
perhaps after this next bath on Friday there will be a big
step forward.
After that we will report to you on everything. In the next
check reading I wish to inquire about the change of climate
which obviously will be necessary in the fall. My doctor
here feels that I should get into the water as soon as
possible and stay there as long as I can every day. Even at
the present rapid rate of recovery I will not be able to do
this before October, so that means going down to Florida.
Through the editor of the ... Magazine I am making inquiries
about ..., which is on the west coast, is inexpensive, and
provides salt water bathing without surf - enabling me to
walk into the water and remain at any depth I choose. I
would like to ask in a reading about this plan. I have an
idea the reading will also suggest bathing, since it is
really the only efficient way to restore atrophied muscles.
Of course, getting on my feet and getting around on crutches
is the main objective now, and I cannot plan to leave here
until that is possible. I believe another six weeks or two
months will see it accomplished and I have a feeling that it
will be done in much less time. Of course, I had been
planning and dreaming about a visit to the beach up until
now, but the summer will be over before I can travel and I do
not think the reading will recommend such a climate once the
season is past. However, we shall see what is advised and
follow it.
I have been asked to put a proposition to Hugh Lynn, but
since I doubt that it is a serious offer I will tell it to
you and let you pass it on to him on his return. Jerry
Danzig of WOR, is very anxious to get some sort of psychic
program going on his station. One night while he was
visiting us I outlined a program which he like very much. He
presented the idea to his boss and found that it was received
with enthusiasm, so much so that the boss wants to start it
in the fall - so Jerry says. As outlined I would act as
master of ceremonies and the program would present specific
cases of psychic phenomena with the people involved present
as witnesses. There would be a board of experts in both
science and psychic research, and after hearing the stories
and the evidence they would offer opinions and explanations.
Members of the audience would also give the opinions as to
whether they believed it had happened and why. Obviously I
cannot undertake such a program and even if I were to remain
here I could only act as master of ceremonies and would be
unable to do the research and round up the people. I
suggested to Jerry that Hugh Lynn would be an ideal fellow
for such a job - thinking that if he came to New York in the
fall on a mission such as brought him here in the spring that
he could combine business with business and make some money.
The program would not have a sponsor to begin with and the
station does not have a great deal of money, but Jerry asked
me if I thought Hugh Lynn would work for $100 a week. That
will be the offer if the thing goes through, so tell Hugh
Lynn not to be surprised if he hears from WOR. Meanwhile he
can let me know what his plans are for the fall. The last
time we talked he seemed all set for Duke, but if that does
not materialize the radio job might be very good both
financially and for experience.
Everything is going smoothly with our schedule. The
ingredients for the battery arrived and the change was made.
The only thing we need is some Tim [for hemorrhoids], which
isn't listed in the reading but which is mighty good medicine
just the same.
It is very hot here and we realize our misfortune in not
being at the beach. Let us hope that next year we will be
able to remedy that.
As ever, [

Quite interesting about the proposition to Hugh Lynn - he is
still at camp near Natural Bridge, with Scouts, be home next
Sunday. However, seems funny that it should make the circle
and be back to the interest of the Danzig's again - seems
there are several that have such programmes now - had noticed
from Hereward Carrington that he was on the air now Saturday
nights, believe it is. Haven't heard him as yet. W.A.B.C.
Am anxious to see High Lynn's reaction to the suggestion - as
you remember the reading has said such a suggestion would
come to the Ass'n.
Will have them send you along a bit of T-I-M. Certainly is
good stuff. Surprising how it is getting started all over -
just of its self.
All pretty fair here - all send love to you, [
1102] and the
young lady - just hope she isn't grown up before I get to see
her.
Keep on pulling, [
849] - you don't have to be told HE has
lots for you to do will you [if you will] do it and HE will
give you the strength and health to do it with do you only
Trust HIM. Quite an interesting man [
1662] here now from
Phila. Leader in the Friends - society, among the first
Quakers we have had - very very lovely man and his wife.
Best to all ever the same - Eddie
