(Q) What is the condition of my thyroid and adrenal glands,
and should I continue the Atomidine?
(A) These have improved considerably. We would continue the
use of the Atomidine, but make the periods of taking same -
now - a week farther apart. Then take only for a week, and
then wait two or three weeks before it is taken again.
These activities have been to aid the assimilations of the
body, and the activity of the glands as related to that
assimilated, to maintain the gain from that assimilated and
its distribution through the varied circulations in the body,
to aid these to carry on their influence. And these are
gaining strength, as the strength and virility of the body
has gradually improved. These are on the improve.
Do keep, though, more consistently, the head and neck
exercise; to maintain a better connection in the upper dorsal
and cervical area, of those associations between the centers
where the small ganglia between the cerebrospinal and
sympathetic systems make closer connection to the organs
of the sensory system. For, these will aid the eyes, the
speech, the hearing.
Occasionally - once a month should be sufficient - have a
thorough, THOROUGH, osteopathic treatment. This does not
mean merely going over the body and taking special centers
and giving them a stimulation. Rather beginning with
the centers or segments in the upper cervicals, gradually
stimulate the area; not merely the segment itself but the
areas between the segments where the spinal cord and the
sympathetics connect - along the specific areas, - as in the
3rd cervical, 2nd and 3rd and 4th dorsal, 9th dorsal, and the
whole of the LUMBAR centers.
These will aid in keeping tendencies for better distribution
of that assimilated in the lymph and emunctory circulation,
and also stimulate the cerebrospinal circulation of both
blood supply AND nerve energies; thus keeping the body
attuned, keeping the activities for all the organs of
the body nearer to their normal reactions.
Also, when such is done, those stimulations given by the
relaxing in the centers of the sacral axis should be extended
to the bursa of the feet, especially in the heel and in the
center of the feet; that is, toward the toes. These will
keep the body from feeling the tiresome effects from long
standing or sitting, and make for better conditions through
the limbs.
(Q) Is the growth of superfluous hair on my body caused by
thyroid and what would correct it?
(A) This, as indicated, is the activity of the thyroid, but
with these being purified - the glands - it will grow to be
nearer and nearer a normal activity. There are in a human
body no activities that are not in keeping with the activity
of the whole system as a unit, but these will be aided to
keep in a nearer normal condition.
(Q) Should I continue the hydrotherapy and massage
treatments, and if so, how often?
(A) If it is three months apart now, it will be sufficient.
Be well to keep occasionally, for this will keep down those
tendencies for an acidity - if the osteopathic treatments are
given as indicated.
(Q) Should I continue the Pine Oil baths and mud packs for
the face?
(A) These are very well, to keep the complexion better and a
better activity of the body.
(Q) What causes me to have sore throat and how can this be
prevented?
(A) These are the natural tendencies from the general
activities in the system, the incoordination in the
cerebrospinal and sympathetic systems. That is why, as
indicated, those special centers in the 3rd cervical, 1st,
2nd and 3rd and 4th dorsal, are to receive special attention
when the osteopathic adjustments are made.
(Q) What causes me to have cricks in the neck and back?
(A) Not particular about keeping out of drafts! These cause
such effects because of the sensitiveness to the body and the
reflexes from same. But do as indicated. If all of these
applications are kept up, better eliminations will be
established and these effects will not come about near
so easily.
(Q) Is it time to have my glasses changed?
(A) Not until there has been taken the head and neck
exercise for at least several weeks.
(Q) Then should I go to Dr. Cosgrove in ...?
(A) Dr. Cosgrove's very good.
(Q) What is the condition of my wisdom teeth?
(A) These are very well.
(Q) Sinus?
(A) Better.
(Q) Is there any special exercise I should take, other than
the head and neck exercise?
(A) Walking is the best exercise, but don't take this
spasmodically. Have a regular time and do it, rain or shine!
(Q) Are there any special foods I should avoid, such as
white bread?
(A) Avoid too much starch or too much of sweets.
(Q) Please give any other information that would be helpful
at this time.
(A) Keep the body not only in the way of being better
physically but better physically FOR a better mental and
spiritual purpose. Be purposeful! Expect something!
Require much of self in thy relationships to others, to the
glory of the Creative Forces! and life will be more worth
while.
And don't forget the sons! [See

REPORTS
9/12/43 (Sunday) Letter to EC:
Dear Mr. Cayce:
I want to tell you again how much I enjoyed seeing you and
all your family at Virginia Beach and to thank you for my
check physical reading which has been such a help to me.
I am trying to carry it out to the letter and I am feeling
fine.
It always does me good to come to the beach and to talk to
members of the association and be in your home. Also enjoyed
your Sunday School class and the Tuesday Night Group. I
always feel so "at home" with all of them just as if I
belong there. It's a good feeling and I like it.
Hope all of you are well and happy. Please give my love to
Gladys.
Sincerely,
10/11/43 EC's letter to Miss [
1968]:
Miss [
1968]
..., Arkansas
Dear [
1968]:
I am glad to have yours of the 12th. I hope you will pardon
me for not answering, but our mail has become so heavy that
my personal letters creep up on me. It was nice to have you
here last summer, and I am glad to know that you are feeling
much better.
I had a letter from Mrs. [
264] the other day. We are having
to add 3 or 4 more girls to our staff, but we are so far
behind with our letters and every period is taken up for a
year.
Thanks a lot and let me hear from you again.
Do write us whenever you find the time.
We had a letter from Hugh Lynn for the first time this
morning. He is overseas. Yesterday was Charles Thomas'
birthday.
Thanks a lot and with every good wish,
Ever the same, Edgar Cayce
10/21/43 Miss [
1968]'s letter to EC:
Dear Mr. Cayce:-
Thank you so much for your letter. It always helps me to
hear from you, but I appreciate it even more now that you
are so busy and have so many letters to answer.
Please mark me down in your appointment book for a check
physical reading for the next opening you have for next
year. By then I will need it. Thank you.
Am glad you have heard from Hugh Lynn. I was so surprised
to know that he is overseas. I thought about little Charles
Thomas on his birthday. Wish I could see him. He is so cute
and I know he is a pleasure to you all.
I have started teaching Sunday School again like my reading
indicated I should - little girls from 12 to 14 years old
and I enjoy it very much. I also keep busy with Red Cross,
U.S.O., etc.
Another thing my reading indicated was that the person I
will marry I would very likely meet in connection with doing
Defense work of some kind. About two months ago at a U.S.O.
picnic I met [S...] from Gloucester, Mass. He is 36 years
old and a private in the army and was stationed in ... but
has since been moved to Texas. I had about four dates with
him but he writes very often and says I am a good influence
on him, which pleases me, of course. He seems to like me a
lot and I like him but there are a lot of things about him I
don't like and we are very different (which is probably good
for me). All of this is probably too unimportant to even
tell you about, and if I ever get real serious about anyone,
I would try to get a reading first and see if I was doing the
right thing. In the meantime I don't want to be too hasty
about this, especially if I can be a good influence on him.
On the other hand, I don't want to get too interested in the
wrong person. So I read my readings again and it said that
I would know the right one because he would be a "Son of
Faith". Does that mean a good man who tries to do the will
of God? Or is there a deeper meaning than that? Some time
when you get time please advise me what you think it means.
I guess all of us think our own personal problems are so
important and they are to us. Sometime things like this are
more important than they seem to be at first and I am very
anxious to do the right thing, so I will appreciate your
advice at your convenience.
Sincerely, [
1968]
P.S. Also he is a Catholic. What about that?
10/28/43 EC's letter to Miss [
1968]:
Dear [
1968]:
Thanks a lot for yours of the 21st. The first opportunity
we will have to get a check reading for you is the afternoon
of April 24, from 3:30 to 4:30 EWT. I hope this will be
in time - maybe by that time, you will want to ask about
someone. Or maybe it will all be settled before that time -
how about that? I don't know whether either of you are the
whirlwind type or not, are you?
Yes, we were glad to have a letter from Hugh Lynn and Edgar
Evans yesterday. Hugh Lynn is somewhere in England. You can
sure tell that he is missing his boy. Edgar Evans has never
seen his boy and he is now nearly 4 months old. Both of them
are growing right along. Charles Thomas is beginning to try
to talk. We, of course, think that he is very smart for a
year old baby. He should be, for a mother and father as he
has.
I am glad to hear that you have taken a class in Sunday
School. I wouldn't mind going to Sunday School myself if
you were my teacher.
It is most interesting what you tell me about the young man.
He certainly answers to the description given you, even to
being a "Son of Faith," as he is a member of the church. I
think this is what it meant. Now whether you should or could
let that interfere with what your best judgement would tell
you, I do not know. Anyway, don't forget about what the
reading told you.
Let's just hope that it is all fine and dandy and that you
will find in each other that which you would worship in your
Maker.
We are very busy here, though we have had four other
office girls, we are still many weeks behind with our
correspondence.
Thanks very much and with love from all here, I am,
Sincerely, Edgar Cayce
11/10/43 Miss [
1968]'s letter to EC:
Dear Mr. Cayce:
Thank you for your letter of October 28th giving me
an appointment for a check reading on the afternoon
of April 24, 1944.
Your letter was very helpful to me, as usual. Your advice
was all good but the part that helped me most was the part
about "finding that which I would worship in my Maker." That
was just what I needed to make me realize that this boy is
not the right one for me, so I am going to forget him and
look some more for the right one. No, Sir, I am not the
whirlwind type at all and I want to be very careful to
make the right choice. Now that you have helped me make
my decision, I feel very much better about the whole thing.
I have a feeling that you have already received your one
hundred hundred-dollar donations for the Living Sponsorship
but I want to have a part in it too because the Association
has meant so VERY MUCH to me, so I inclose my check for
$100.00.
Hope you are feeling fine and not over-working.
Sincerely, [
1968]
3/06/44 Miss [1968['s letter to EC:
Dear Mr. Cayce:
I was glad to read in a recent bulletin that you have had a
nice trip to Florida. I do hope that you had a good time and
got a much deserved rest. Hope the fishing was good.
I am getting along fine. There is nothing new to report to
you. As soon as there is, I will certainly let you know.
I have given a great deal of thought about my appointments
for readings on March 21st and April 24th and since my needs
are not as urgent as they have been in the past, I feel that
it is only right that I should give up my time for the March
appointment, either to someone needing an emergency reading,
or as a rest period for you. Then my April appointment, I
would like to trade with someone in September. I imagine
most any one who has an appointment then would be glad to
have it sooner. And by September I will need one. So, if
you will cancel my March 21st appointment and postpone my
April 24th appointment until some time in September, I will
appreciate it.
I realize that you and all your staff are terribly busy and
rushed these days, but it must be a great joy to you to know
how much good you are doing.
I do think of you and your family and the work every day.
Here's wishing for you, Mr. Cayce, many years of happiness
and continued service. If there is ever anything I can do
for you, please call on me.
Sincerely, [
1968]
P.S. Please remember me to Hugh Lynn the next time you
write. I would love to see little Charles Thomas. Bet
he is getting to be a big boy now.
3/11/44 EC's letter to Miss [
1968]:
Miss [
1968]
..., Arkansas
Dear Miss [
1968]:
I have your letter of the 6th and it is always good to hear
from you.
Yes, I had a very nice little trip to Florida and enjoyed
it very much. Came home thinking I was feeling fine and
about three weeks ago, the whole thing exploded in my face.
As one thinks of such things he can blame many things
and conditions, yet we know all such things are really
within our own selves.
I have been real sick ever since. In fact, went to New York
to try to get some special treatments, and got worse instead
of better. Finally came home and here I am, such as it is.
I am feeling a lot better, and hope that within the next few
days to get back to work.
Now about your appointments. It is very lovely of you to
want to make these changes to give us even one period for
an emergency reading, and we will accept the one of the 21st
if you are sure you don't want to keep that period. We have
so many scheduled on every period, I expect it would just
be given away to that much of a rest period. If you want
to keep it, let us have your questions. We are not going
to change the other period for the afternoon of the 24th of
April, you can keep that period for yourself.
I appreciate more than I can tell you just how thoughtful and
how helpful you want to be.
Hugh Lynn seems to be really enjoying his work in the Army,
and from the letters we have had from various families he
has visited, he seems to be making a very good impression in
England. Charles Thomas is growing like a weed, though he
looks like anything but a weed. He is chubby and fat little
fellow, like his dad. I don't believe you have met Edgar
Evans wife Katharine. Their baby is big and fat and I think
is about to catch up with Charles Thomas.
Thank you a lot Miss [
1968] and with every good wish, I
remain
Sincerely Edgar Cayce [EC/GM]
4/14/44 (Friday) Miss [
1968]'s letter to GD:
Dear Gladys:
I am inclosing some questions for my check Life Reading which
is scheduled for Monday afternoon, April 24th.
I am sending them to you to look over and revise if you can
find time. If you think it would be best to just submit
these as questions without getting a check reading on the
Egyptian period you may do so. Also since I can't be present
for the reading and if anything is brought out that I don't
anticipate, I would appreciate your adding any additional
questions that occur to you at the time. After all, you know
my case and know how anxious I am to really "get going" on my
life's work. I will appreciate it a lot, Gladys.
I think of you so often and know how busy you are these days
and what a wonderful work you are doing. I know it makes you
feel good to know what a big part you are playing in all
this.
Thanks for everything!
Sincerely, [
1968]
P.S. I inclose check for $20.00.
4/15/44 Miss [
1968]'s letter to EC:
... St,
..., Ark.
Dear Mr. Cayce:
I do hope you are feeling better now - LOTS BETTER. I have
thought of you so much and appreciated your letter of March
11th.
One reason I haven't written sooner is that Mama (my
grandmother who raised me) is very ill. In fact, she has
been in a coma for days now and we know it is only a matter
of time. She has been a wonderful person and the world is a
better place because she has lived in it.
I have written to Gladys in a separate letter and sent her my
questions for my reading which is scheduled for Monday Aft,
April 24th.
I certainly do APPRECIATE your giving me this time and
I do want to say that if you are not feeling well I will
understand if you cancel it. However, I do hope you feel
fine and are giving your usual readings because I am most
anxious to get this one.
Please take care of yourself, Mr. Cayce, and remember me to
everyone there.
Sincerely, [
1968]
P.S. One of my boy friends [S...] from out of town came to
see me two weeks ago with pretty serious intentions. I tried
to tell him about my readings, Mr. Cayce, but I am afraid I
didn't do a very good job as he didn't believe any of it. I
believe I wrote you about him last fall. I don't think he
would be much help to me so I broke up with him and I believe
I did the right thing because I prayed about it hard and gave
it lots of thought. I do have a feeling that I was supposed
to be a good influence on him, though all the time I was with
him, I had a strong feeling that it was all happening for
some purpose, so in my questions I asked about him, and I
do hope the reading will explain to me about him.
4/22/44 EC's letter to [
1968]:
..., Arkansas
Dear Miss [
1968]:
Thanks very much for yours of the 15th.
I am glad to say that I am feeling very, very much better and
I hope to be able to carry on.
Sorry to hear that your grandmother is not so well. I do
hope that she will soon be much better. I trust that we will
be able to get the reading for you at the time set, and that
it may be of a real help. I believe it comes up Monday, if I
remember correctly.
I am very sure your own conscience is the best guide in such
matters, for unless there can be that constant sincere desire
for a unity of purpose, it's a hard enough problem at best,
and without that unity of purpose, it would be really a
problem. I am sure everything will work out alright.
Thanks a lot and with the very best from all here, I remain
Sincerely, Edgar Cayce [EC/GM]
GD's note: [
1968] letter to [
264] dated May 7, 1944 "Today I
received a letter from Mr. Cayce saying that they were unable
to get my reading on April 24th as planned and that they were
making a new appointment for June 19th EWT between 10:30 and
11:30 AM. He said they were mighty busy trying to keep up
with the mail and getting ready for Congress." Then he
added: "You will be here won't you? We will expect You."
5/07/44 Miss [
1968]'s letter to EC:
Dear Mr. Cayce:
Thank you for your letter of May 3rd giving me an appointment
for June 19th. I notice that will be during the Congress.
I would like to be there but don't believe I will be able
to make it this summer, as I understand that civilian travel
is to be restricted in June. I certainly wish you a very
successful Congress this year.
I don't suppose my reading will be given publicly during the
Congress. Will it? It just occurred to me that I used two
people's names in my questions and I would prefer to have my
reading private if possible. However, anything you do about
that will be agreeable with me because I am so anxious to get
this reading and I appreciate your working me in because I
know how far ahead you are booked up.
Please let Gladys read this letter so she can disregard my
last letter to her.
With best wishes to all.
