Hugh Lynn:
I am sorry I have just found this letter at home. It seems
to have been mis-laid and not brought to my attention.
Yes: At the time I was very interested in the co-incidence
of this Reading, and checked as best I could from the
distance. My father had been, seriously injured in a traffic
accident in New York, and was being treated in a hospital
there, and showed no improvement there, the family physician
had suggested he believed he could treat him, if he were
brought home, as he did not practice in that particular,
hospital, and my family having such great faith in him, had
my father brought home. They were living in an apartment
house on Long Island, and they checked with all the families
living in that apartment and there was no one anywhere near
they could locate by the name of Strong. Our physician
there, said he was suffering from blood-clots, as he was 73,
and if he could succeed in dissolving them each one before
they reached the heart, he could be saved, which he did, when
this message came to me. I felt that if Mr. Cayce told me
this could be done, I could have hopes, and if he said not I
could begin to prepare myself for the end, which for my mind
would need some preparation, for I have always been so close
to my father, that I would need to train my mind to release
him if time for him to go on, and as I remember the Reading
gave the assurance that there was every reason to believe
that this diagnosis was correct, etc. I believe, in this
case, that the Reading served to give me something to tie to,
to establish more firmly with my faith, and I prayed
unceasingly for his restoration, and today, he is living in
Washington D.C. very hale and hearty. I visited he and my
mother in their lovely new home there this summer, and
enjoyed every precious moment of the time. At that time, my
single brother was building this home there, anticipating
that my parents would come and live with him, which they are
now, doing.
