This psychic reading given by Edgar Cayce at his office, 115 West 35th Street, Virginia Beach, Va., this 23rd day of October, 1928, in accordance with request made by self - Mr. [943].

Present: Edgar Cayce; Mrs. Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. Dr. Thos. B. House.

TEXT

1. GC: You will have before you the body and the enquiring mind of [943], Cadillac Hotel, New York City, and his oil proposition, and negotiations he has with the Sinclair Oil Co., also individual group in Baltimore. You will advise him which of these he should follow out, and the necessary steps he should take to make a success out of it, if it can be done with either of those groups.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [943]. Also the oil propositions. This we have had before. The negotiations as are had by the body, both of these present more than a possibility, yet in quite different manners. One would require the body raising some outside capital, or of giving a great deal of personal interest, still making a personal application of the abilities of self to negotiate outside capital for operations. This is POSSIBLE, yet would be rather hard to do under existent circumstances. That with the Sinclair Oil Company. Or it may be possible to negotiate with these individuals (Sinclair Oil Company we are still speaking of) as respecting the completion of the hole already begun, by getting outside capital to assist in completion. As to the individual prospect in Baltimore, with the well already started used as an incentive for quick operation, this would present the better opportunity of success, or quicker success, and the body would have better interests for self in this direction. Would the body weigh one with another of the two, this offers the best proposition, as we see it. Yet we would NOT turn down or withdraw from the proposition with Sinclair at the present time, for there are some reports that are being checked over and, with the findings, these should offer a GOOD opportunity, would the body be willing to tie self in the manner as desired by those handling same. So, both propositions are MORE than a prospect. As to the manner in which to handle, that as outlined with be that NECESSARY, would the body make a successful proposition with either group. We are through for the present.

   Tuesday Eve., 8 P.M.
   Dear Mr. Cayce:
   Am still at it and am going stick with it until I get some kind of results. I believe that we are right and will get the oil if once given a chance. [2671] has not been able to send any money for sometime and am having tough sledding but am still above the tide as have been making a little money here on the side. [2671] advised me to come home two weeks ago that he could not furnish any more money but I am not made of that kind of material. I believe that I will make enough money next three or four weeks to drill my own well. Have contracted for 50,000 - five pound boxes of high grade candy at $1.72 per box and will put them on market for 2.75 and 3.00 per box and then under sell any other high price candy. Have organized the Industrial Advertising and Sales Corp and am now getting together salesmen. Have had no money but through party I met since coming here have been able to do this. At the same time I will have an answer sometime this week from the following:
   Phipps Interest Sinclair Oil Co. Syndicate at Baltimore Bradley Interest
   and my chance are fairly good wish Phipps as he has invested in Florida about $30,000,000\00 and is worth about $600,000,000\00 as reported and Bradley Interest investment in Florida even into the millions. So you see I have an even break. This oil deal must go thru and will not be my fault if it does not.
   Have been lucky on eats as have had card to Cornel Club without cost and my room rent very small.
   Mr. Cayce, would you please give a reading on what I should do and outlining a future business for me. I know the readings have suggested what I am supposed to do but that seems so far in the future. The thing I want to know is what to do to get started on world organizations and how to make that money necessary to make the start for it all depends on that it seems. I would appreciate very much if you would do this at any rate it would relieve my mind some.
   Will keep you advised as to progress made.
   With kindest personal regards to you and all.
   Sincerely, [943]
   Cadillac Hotel Broadway & 43rd St. New York City
