TEXT

1. GC: You will have before you the body and the enquiring mind of [900], of ... St., N.Y. City, and his contemplated association with Max Freyz and the new psychology magazine being started in N.Y. of which Max Freyz is editor. You will tell the body [900] if this is the best thing to be connected with and how to go about accepting it. Give instructions on this. Would it be a good place to put his manuscript? How about the manuscript? Is it O.K. You will give advice to this body and instructions concerning this. If the manuscript as it is was sent to Doran, would it be accepted? The body has been asked to invest in the new magazine on psychology. Would it be well to do this?
2. EC: We have the body, the enquiring mind, [900]. This we have had here before. The contemplated association with Max Freyz as editor of psychology magazine. In considering such conditions and relations, there are many various conditions and circumstances to be considered. The magazine in itself would be very good as an outlet for the efforts of the body [900] - that is, the mental forces of same. This would NOT be the proper channel for the manuscript. Were the manuscript sent to Doran be dependent upon whose hands - even in manuscript department - it was received, as to its acceptance or rejectance. The manuscript itself in VERY good shape, and as has been outlined the manner, the style and the way in which same should be presented. Either through Doran or Schuster.
3. The association with the magazine would not for some time prove other than a channel for the entity's mental forces, as a means of expression - that is, it, the magazine, would not be a great financial success at first, though same could be made such after the first and second years' experience in the field, see?
4. These are the conditions as we find respecting the association of [900] as to the magazine and the manuscript.
5. (Q) Which would be best at the present time, to send the manuscript to Doran or Schuster?
   (A) May be sent to both. WE would prefer Schuster. There are too many changes being enacted in the combinations in Doran's publications at present, for the combining forces are seeking rather to set self in shape before taking on great number of publications. Hence Schuster - Simon & Schuster.
   Be well to invest some monies in magazine as a channel for the entity's mental development, and for the manner of presenting same to a waiting and seeking world.
6. We are through for the present.

REPORTS

1. 10/09/27 He obtained dream rdg. 900-345, and also 900-346 in which he asked further about his manuscript.
2. 10/14/27 EC's letter to HLC: "[900] seemed very enthusiastic. He had just sent his book to the publisher for consideration (Simon & Schuster). They have him also considering a bank proposition in N.Y., also a new psychology magazine. I wonder at times whether it is [900] taking advantage of the opportunity, or somebody else looking on taking advantage of [900] and the opportunity. I believe it's the former."
