..., Ala.
Dear Mr. Cayce:
Your letter of the 22nd inst. Certainly glad to hear from
you and to learn that your stay in N.Y. City was pleasant. I
do hope those you gave physical readings for may be cured.
I called on Mrs. [
934], ... St., this city, and met the
little boy. Now tell me the story, please. I am sure it
must be interesting.
The Ouija board has quit talking to me. I can't account for
it. I had such remarkable contact for several months.
Yes, it is a most stubborn physical condition that I have
had to endure, with other troubles quite as unpleasant, for
a number of years. I want to run up there to see you all,
but finances have been rotten with me. My wife and I both
had the flu recently, quite a severe attack for each of us,
but my wife had the worst time, for both of her ears
abscessed. Had to have her taken to the hospital. I felt so
sorry for her. Had to have two doctors and another, an ear,
eye, nose and throat specialist, with her. Had one doctor
with me. Our drug bill was heavy. This in addition to my
trials and expense with X-rays, gall bladder, colon, etc.
Then, had to have my wife's teeth worked on, and must have
mine filled in a few days.
Thank you for your kind offer of further help. I just
dislike to be an imposition on you, but I value your
readings. I would give anything to get rid of my physical
troubles anyhow, if I had the "anything" to give. Perhaps
things will eventually come my way. I shall greatly
appreciate your prayers.
Enjoyed meeting Mrs. [
934] and her little fellow. She seems
much interested in psychic matters. I had to sit down and
tell her all about various seances I have attended, what I
saw and heard, etc., about my Ouija board experiences, etc.,
etc. Did not meet Mr. [
391], as he was not at home, but his
wife says he is deeply interested in such things. She surely
was appreciative of your readings and help for her little
boy.
God bless all of you and my love to all of you. Please write
me fully about the little boy.
Sincerely yours, [
1196]

4/29/40 EC's letter to [
1196]:
Dear Mr. [
1196]-
Have yours of the 27th - and will try and answer you at once.
Glad that you went to see our boy - the [
1208] boy, for we
are all very very fond of him here, and expect great things
for him some day - for this is the story. The information
insists that he was Thomas Jefferson, in his last
incarnation, and will have much to do with shaping the
policies of this land again, - provided of course that he
has the proper training in the formative years of his
experience here, so every one that meets that child that has
any conception of GOD'S plan with man has a real opportunity.
Therefore was anxious that you know him, for am sure you
wish to see and aid in seeing God's plan work in the affairs
of man. Personally have had many experiences with the child
that has convinced me, know they are not proofs for any one
else but knowing what you are looking for is one thing and
finding it is quite another that I know, but you with your
abilities - can am sure with a little patience have much of
the same experience as I. And hope you will take the time -
and are interested enough to make a try.
Now for yourself. Listen Mr. [
1196], won't you give this a
good honest try for me - take three evenings a week for
several weeks - take what ever days are most convenient for
you - but don't do it one time and leave off the next time
but do it for at least three weeks, but each evening that you
choose to do it put a castor oil pack over you Liver and
gall duct area. That means have at least three thicknesses
of flannel - soak it in castor oil - not just pour over,
ring out and put over that area. Have cloth large enough
to cover the most of the abdomen - put on warm put plenty of
cloths and a piece of oil cloth over same - for it is messy -
then put Electric pad on and keep it just as hot as you can
stand it for an hour. After each three times of using it -
take a table spoon of Olive oil. You will get rid of that
trouble, even pass the stones or the obstruction in the duct.
Now please give this an honest try - it will help could tell
you of at least five or more cases this has been given for -
and each time it has kept the body from having an operation
where it was said they would have to have such.
Yes - a very fine meeting in N.Y. big crowd, lots of
interest - and many very lovely people came to see me.
Let me hear from you - and do by all means give the
suggestion a fair honest try - don't do it unless you are
going to give it the full time else it may only stir up
more trouble - it is a messy thing to do but feel sure you
can get rid of the trouble - and your physical condition will
be much better.
Observe the suggestions formally given as to diet during
the try - let it say be every other day not every day - but
will sure bring relief try it.
May His Blessings be with you at all times.
Sincerely, Edgar Cayce

Mr. Edgar Cayce,
Virginia Beach, Va.
Dear Mr. Cayce,
Your letter of April 29th. Thanks so much for the suggestion
about using castor oil pack and taking olive oil. I shall
try this. The Dr. says it will likely help me. It is, as
you say, messy.
I went up again to see Mr. [
391] and Mrs. [
934] and the boy,
[
1208]. I can, I think, detect some traits he has which are
not exactly usual with boys his age, and I intend to give
him more study. His father and mother told me some things
about him, too. They are much interested in psychic matters,
and want to attend some of our seances. I shall arrange
this.
By the way, Hugh Lynn probably told you that I had written
him the Ouija board will not talk to me any more. Do you
think it will do so ever again? I can't account for it
stopping - it just abruptly did so, and not a word will it
spell to me now.
I am somewhat better under present treatment from this
German woman doctor (M.D.) [Buresch?] - not so sore as I was
before starting with her. You have no idea how much I have
suffered, and the doctors did me no good at all. She is
very anxious to see another reading by you, but I simply
can't spare the money. She says in Germany she was witness
to some wonderful diagnoses and treatments by psychics.
Well, I am trusting in God. I have tried so hard to live
right. I do believe He will finally cure me.
Just wish I could run up there for two or three days, and
perhaps I can do that soon. It always does me good to talk
to you. Do you contemplate going off anywhere this month?
That is, if I put out up there, will I find you at home?
Trip would not cost me much - no R. R. fare except for berth
on sleeper each way, going and returning, incidental
expenses, meals en route there and returning, with hotel or
boarding house expense at Va. Beach for two or three days.
Love to all of you. [

5/06/40 EC's letter to [
1196]:
Believe it is the experience of every one, Mr. [
1196], that
they out grow as it were the Ouija board, and either do
automatic writing or some other form of phenomena, or has
been my experience - for one should grow in Psychic
experiences as in every thing else - for is it not given -
"We grow in Grace and Knowledge of God." And if these
manifestations are not of HIM neither of us would wish to
have any thing to do with it, but we do grow all of us.
Don't then regret the stopping but seek to know how He would
manifest now.
Thanking you and hoping to see and hear from you again soon.
Please remember me to the Boy [
1208]. Does he remember me.
Sincerely, [signed] Edgar Cayce

PERSONAL
Dear Mr. Cayce:
I am not getting along well at all. I enclose ten dollars,
and when you get back to Va. Beach please assign a reading
date and time for my physical reading. I should like for it
to be Saturday afternoon, 25th inst, between 2:30 p.m. and
3:30 p.m., E.S.T. or between 3:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. E.S.T.
You can just wire me collect. During the reading I will be
at home, ... St., this city. The new name of this street
(lately given it) is ..., at ... I have to go out of town
next week.
Please have following questions asked:
Is the treatment of Dr. Buresch, German woman doctor, going
to cure me?
What part of it is the most important?
Are the injections she is giving me near hips going to help
me? I don't know what the injections are.
She is requiring me to take every morning early - first,
two to three tablespoonfuls of olive oil, then, immediately
after that, a glass of hot water, with a half teaspoonful
of Carlsbad salts in it. Then I have to get in bed and lie
on my right side thirty minutes.
I am, in addition, taking a tonic after meals she prescribed
for me.
I am, three times each week, Monday, Wednesday and Friday,
taking the castor oil pack and heat application, with a
tablespoonful of olive oil after it that you wrote me about.
Please go into my condition thoroughly, as Dr. Buresch wants
to read it. If it says anything she would not like, I'll
not show it to her.
God bless you and pray for me.
Sincerely, [
1196]
