Dear Mr. [...]:
Thank you for yours of the 18th - mighty sorry to hear
nothing has helped Miss [
1826], seems the arms of man are all
too short when it comes to the sufferings of our loved ones,
and we all seem to come to that old saw "if God loves us why
does he allow us to suffer so" and we are ready to doubt any
thing and every thing when it comes to such. But HE is our
strength in time of trouble, He alone has the words of
eternal life - where all suffering is over - pardon me please
didn't mean to speak so, but know how your heart and mind
must be burdened at this time, would there was something that
I might do. Trust the suggestion made will help - have a
young man here with me [Thomas Sugrue] who has been a very
great suffer - the same was given for him and feel sure it is
the only thing that has saved his reason, but he is on the
improve now. Thanks to HIM.
Can only hope and pray for the best, may HIS strength sustain
you. Please remember me very kindly to Miss [
1826].
Sincerely, [signed] Edgar Cayce
GD's note: We later heard that Mrs. [
1826] died early in the
year 1940. [From the treatment [suggested in last readings]
and vague rumors we had the idea that Mrs. [
1826] died of
cancer, but we felt that it could have been prevented if the
treatment recommended in the reading first had been
followed.]
3/22/40 Her husband referred Mrs. [
2152] for a reading.
