TEXT

1. GC: You will answer the questions regarding this body, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [1947]; this we have had before. Ready for questions.
3. (Q) What is the cause and suggested cure for the intermittent pain in the left breast area?
   (A) This is a disturbance in the glandular system, or in the mammary glands; having been bruised or hurt.
   We would gently - not hard, but gently - massage same with Cocoa Butter, and of evenings apply an equal combination of Mutton Tallow (melted), Spirits of Turpentine and Spirits of Camphor. Heat the Mutton Tallow to liquefy, and then add the other ingredients in the same quantity. This may be gently massaged on and a flannel put over same, or a flannel cloth may be soaked in the solution and taped on, or fastened to the underclothing.
4. (Q) What is the condition of ears? Any further treatment suggested?
   (A) If there are the treatments osteopathically for the keeping open of the Eustachian tube, this would be beneficial. It would require regular treatments, though; at least once or twice a month. Better if they were once a week.
5. (Q) What is condition of gums?
   (A) These are very good, but the use of Ipsab at least three to four times a week will aid in keeping down the tendencies towards pyorrhea.
6. (Q) Condition of eyes?
   (A) The treatments for the Eustachian tubes would be beneficial to the eyes, as well as the activities occasionally as we have suggested for the nerve centers that lead to the organs of the sensory system as well as to the optic centers.
7. (Q) Should I submit to any of the inoculations that are to be encouraged next month, - typhoid fever, small pox, diphtheria, and whooping cough? If so, which?
   (A) The typhoid for this body would not be amiss. Of course, the small pox is best, but not necessary for this body, as we find in the present.
8. (Q) As indicated in a previous Rdg., marriage was recommended for me for general physical and mental welfare - if desired. When is it indicated that this will take place? (It was indicated around early Spring, before.)
   (A) This must be an agreement between the body and another. And it is not indicated from this body's mind in the present. But it may be brought about when that is desirable for this body - the late summer or early fall.
9. (Q) Is there anything I should do to aid the materialization of this plan?
   (A) Read what has just been indicated. It is necessary for, and there must be an encouragement on the part of the body, if this is desired; but it must be determined first in the mind of the body as to its desirability.
10. (Q) Any further advice?
    (A) Keep close to those spiritual and mental suggestions indicated; not only as a routine but as daily living.
11. We are through with this Reading.

BACKGROUND

1. See 1947-8.

REPORTS

1. 5/31/42 See 903-33, Par. 30-A asking if her work with teen-age groups for dramatic and physical training was similar to that which Mrs. [1947] had done in the schools.
2. 8/05/42 [1947]'s letter to EC:
   Camp ... ..., N.C.
   Dear Mr. Cayce,
   I'm so sorry I couldn't get to the Congress, but travel was impossible. I'd certainly like to have a copy of the report, though.
   I am enclosing money for Ipsab which I would appreciate your sending on with my address since I need some but have lost the address of the company.
   The children and I are very happy at camp this summer - all of which was suggested to me in the beginning by a reading, as you may remember. I still don't see any signs of marriage as mentioned by the last two readings, but I am not losing sleep over it. [Copied into 2005-3 Reports]
   I do hope you are all well and happy. Love - and best wishes
3. 8/10/42 EC's letter to [1947]:
   Dear Mrs. [1947]
   Here we have been wondering where you were as the mail 2nd class has been coming back, and it was the readings that sent you to the camp. The address of the man who makes the Ipsab is Marsden Godfrey - 2709 La Fayette Blvd - Norfolk Va. Will pass check on to him and am sure you will be hearing from him soon.
   Glad you and the Children are happy there am sure you are doing a good work there, also for that is usually what brings happiness.
   All quite busy here as have been getting out notices regards book, the other book has sold well - have you one of the "A Search for God"? If so tell me what you think of same.
   All signs fail in dry weather - however am sure were you to choose to change things - well - you could soon enough.
   All send love and regards
   Sincerely [signed] Edgar Cayce
4. 2/07/43 [1947]'s letter to EC: Dear Mr. Cayce,
   Congratulations on your book "THERE IS A RIVER"! Mrs. [1992] and I each felt we couldn't afford it so we denied ourselves a copy. Mrs. [1663], meanwhile, urged us to read her copy, which we did and now I feel I can't afford to be WITHOUT a copy! It's wonderful. As a result I got out all my readings, and the children's, and re-poured over them. And they are more meaningful and thrilling than ever!
   So, as soon as I have a check reading, that is going to be my next expenditure.
   Meanwhile I hope you will reserve a time for me for a check reading and I'll send the questions along in a few days.
   I hope you are all very well, and I wish that it wasn't SO far from ... to Virginia Beach!
   Fondly,
5. 2/18/43 [1947]'s letter to EC:
   Thursday
   Dear Mr. Cayce,
   I certainly wish I had a chance to tell you some instances in which the readings have made REMARKABLE suggestions: i.e. (1) I have just been given a University Assistanceship to teach physical development officially in the High School, which I would NEVER have done if the readings hadn't started me in that direction! (2) How - before a tonsillectomy for [2004] they warned her [See 2004-4] to have a coagulation test. I asked for it and the Doctors pooh-poohed it - and wished afterwards they hadn't! And so on.
6. 2/23/43 See 1947-10.
