1724]'s letter to EC:
Dear Mr. Cayce:
Again your check reading was excellent. I had had a
hemorrhage about two weeks ago - and apparently another one
before that, in Dr. Reilly's office, while on the table
taking a too drastic electrical treatment. It is unfortunate
that this had to happen because Dr. Reilly was grand to me -
though perhaps careless in "giving me the works" in my
condition. I almost collapsed in his office, got a numb
feeling all over - and had to lie down for around an hour
before I could even get up.
My doctor, a wonderful person, Dr. Wanderman, whom I want you
to meet when next you come to New York, put me on a diet of
largely milk. I am to take a series of X-rays this coming
week to see how much damage has been done. Dr. Wanderman
said it is a wonder I didn't develop peritonitis - and
obviously I have to be most careful.
Your own readings have been amazingly accurate and to the
point - above all frank - even censuring certain well-
intentioned treatments given. They have also been most
helpful.
I doubt if there is a young doctor more renowned in New York
City than Dr. Seymour Wanderman, for his diagnostic ability.
He has watched my physical condition all the time I was doing
the Wilkins' experiments. Hugh has a copy of the March Cosmo
which contains the article on this work. Dr. Wanderman is
most sympathetic in his interest in the psychic readings you
are giving - and would like a test reading, if it could be
arranged, on a patient of his, whose consent to such a
possible reading he has gotten. I am going to speak to Hugh
about this. Dr. Wanderman states, if this reading proves
satisfactory, there are many cases he would be glad to
arrange readings on - on the usual fee basis for membership
in the Association. As a physician, he must assume the
scientific attitude, and would appreciate this test reading
being given.
It is my hope that you can enlist a few men of the calibre of
Dr. Wanderman, in the strict medical field, to co-operate
with you - as I feel it will greatly widen your scope of
service.
I am awaiting with great interest the date on the "Life
Reading". I'm getting together soon with [
257] on some other
matters concerning you and your work. Please accept again my
deep thanks for your great kindnesses to me. Mr. [
1151] is a
great soul and meeting one test after another in this
transition period, in splendid fashion. My best to you
always,
Sincerely, [
1724]

Dear Mr. [
1724]
Thanks for yours of the 23rd - do hope you will soon be
feeling yourself again, the reading may be correct but unless
you can use same to help isn't much good.
Will be glad to cooperate with Dr. Wanderman, seek to try
and help wherever and whenever can, and wish to interest
the profession if it is worth their being interested in same,
and they can only know am sure by such tests as they may
themselves make.
See Hugh Lynn and arrange this when he gets back - but he,
H. L., is hard and fast in bed today. Never saw any one with
a worse cold - had to try the works on him this morning, hope
to have him on his feet again in day or so.
Making the period for your Life reading for the afternoon
of the 9th - if there is the opportunity for you will be
interesting for you to see what the impressions you get at
the hour of that reading 3:30 to 4:30 E.S.T. the 9th of Feb.
Will be interesting to see where such information will tie
you up with some of your associates at the present - that
makes most interesting reading material. Is a very funny
thing how it does it more often in a very consistent manner,
even with the hundreds of such readings, one can easily see
how people will react to one another. You may wish to ask
some questions on such a reading - be well to talk that over
with Hugh Lynn also; the data under separate cover may help
you with an idea or so.
Hoping everything goes well with you - but would not put off
seeing Dobbins.
With all good wishes
Sincerely Edgar Cayce

1724]'s letter to EC:
Dear Mr. Cayce:
Thanks for your grand letter of the 26th. I've been so busy,
this is my first opportunity for answering.
I'm feeling much better. Had a series of X-rays which
confirmed report in your readings. Also confirmed your
statement that hemorrhage was caused by too severe electrical
treatment at Reilly's. Reilly himself was so nice to me - it
is too bad that his handling of cases is so reckless as it
concerns actual condition of patients. Confidentially, I
think his Dr. Waggoner (or however he spells his name) is a
weak link. He gave me a very rough colonic which didn't help
matters any, either - and, under the electric treatment that
followed, I collapsed on the table from pain and then an
unexplainable feeling of exhaustion and numbness. What
happened, I KNOW NOW, is that a severe hemorrhage took place.
I never went back to Reilly's again, despite Hugh's urgings
for me to continue treatment - he not knowing what I had gone
through. Several weeks later, I had a second hemorrhage
which I detected and reported to Dr. Wanderman, asking you
for a check reading. Since then I have been on a diet and
have had special care. The crime of this is - it SHOULDN'T
HAVE HAPPENED. The ulcerated condition was present but, with
proper treatment a hemorrhage could have been averted - ALSO
as your readings indicated. Dr. Wanderman made this point:
in readings such as you give on health, where most patients
are in serious condition of one kind or another - it is
imperative that THOROUGH physicians check up on cases and
follow through with treatment to protect the patient and your
readings. Reilly meant well but he could have killed me.
Wanderman says it's a wonder peritonitis did not develop. I
am hopeful that Wanderman can be interested in co-operating
with you on cases because he is a genius among physicians
and as fine a man ethically as you will ever find in the
profession. He is getting the consent of this patient for
the reading and the data you require on your form - and I
will then send it on to you. It may be that he will prefer
the report sent direct to him in place of the patient.
I am glad you feel that our radio programs are improving. I
know there have been features that Hugh would very much like
to introduce - but some of them are impossible at present for
want of commercial backing - others because of prejudice or
feelings of policy on the part of WOR officials. All things
considered, I think remarkable progress has been made.
I will keep the life reading appointment with you, February
9th, from 3:30 to 4:30 EST - and will try to see what
impressions I get during this hour. I will be enormously
interested and, of course, am profoundly appreciative of all
you are doing for me - [
1151] - is going through great tests
these days - but it is grand we have found each other - my
life work is becoming clearer every day. Thanks again for
everything!
Sincerely, [
1724]
P.S. Just talked with Dr. Wanderman and he hasn't been able
to get patient's data yet but will send direct to you when he
gets it. Best regards.
2/06/39 EC's letter to [
1724]:
Dear Mr. [
1724]
Thanks for yours of the 3rd - glad you are feeling better,
too bad that such mistakes can be made, and even when doing
what they feel no doubt best. Trust, however, you will come
along with little or no trouble now. Have you been to see
Dobbins? Better, if you haven't.
Am looking forward with interest to your life reading. We
wonder many times about such and are usually not prepared for
what is given us.
My, how one wonders about such work as this. This morning
received word from some one who heard of the work in Ceylon -
and few weeks ago some one that was told by a medium in
Paris, France to come see me. And who am I to be noised so
abroad? Just hope can help here and there in HIS NAME.
Thanks, and let us hear, for wish to see you get good and
well. Had the honor to have Mr. [
1151] and Mrs. [
1158]
with us Sunday a week ago.
With all good wishes
Sincerely, Edgar Cayce
