2072]'s ltr. to EC:
Dear Eddie,
Hope you are well and had a happy Xmas.
We came in Xmas Eve to be with mother on Xmas day, as this
was her first Xmas alone since Father [...] died.
Have wanted to write you before, but we thought we would wait
until these treatments were over and report on how we came
out.
The osteopathic treatments, we believe, have very nearly
adjusted the spine [
1861]'s. Dr. Dobbins has been surprised
and encouraged with the progress he was able to make this
time.
And now, we would like another reading. You may set a date
and we'll send the questions and check for the reading after
hearing from you.
We are most anxious to know just what has taken place in his
[
1861]'s body and the next step we should take.
We had many interesting experiences this time in connection
with our trip. Among them the meeting of Miss [
2348] in the
waiting room of Dr. Dobbins offices on the Saturday before we
left N.Y. Dr. Dobbins told us on Friday Miss [
2348] was
coming in Saturday from Virginia and we were hoping we might
have an opportunity to meet and talk with her. I had lay the
thought of her arrival completely out of my mind, tho, as we
made plans for leaving Sunday. As we went up in the elevator
Saturday morning I was sure that a young lady in the elevator
with us WAS Miss [
2348]. I saw only her back as she stood
and walked before us and then when we sat down opposite in
the waiting room I could hardly resist the desire to even
address her as Miss [
2348], but I waited a few minutes.
Suddenly she said "Is this Mr. [
1861]? not even looking at
us. And so we introduced ourselves and after the treatment
she went with us to Dr. Erlangers. She was alone and
uncertain of her way there and as we were going for an eye
treatment we were glad of the opportunity to talk with her
and found her case and reading most interesting. She is a
sweet, sensitive and likable person, and it is good to know
that the treatments have helped her eye, too.
We've both come to love Dr. Dobbins so much we have the
highest respect for him and his work. He's fun to talk with
- always open - minded. He's kind as can be, and certainly
knows how to manipulate the spine. He's someone you enjoy
going to and talking with every day of the year as his never
dull, forgetful or tediously repetitious, and always wants to
talk on new, interesting subjects. Many doctors become dull
and BORESOME by their talk as they treat one.
He put me into a CORSET! to hold this spine of mine in place
as he hadn't any more than adjusted it than it went right
back again to its own old way of slipping around. So he had
to do it all over again and placed me in this straight-jacket
thing. I seem to have most TOO flexible and movable a spine
and [
1861]'s was just the opposite.
We were most fortunate in having a lovely, quiet and homey
place to stay this time. In cold, gloomy, noisy N.Y. that
was something!
Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for those feelings
you have for us. Perhaps sometime we'll be able to look back
upon ALL ourselves and see all causes and effects and
understand why we all feel as we do about one another. It
all strikes a subconscious memory through heart chords,
though. I, myself, feel so many things I seem to understand
but cannot actually personally recall - as though it was all
there and I know it but cannot see it clearly to speak it in
words.
We certainly wish we could spend some time at the Beach this
summer. If we came round for a talk every day with you would
you mind? Wish we could! We'll have to be good and see.
Love to you, and write soon.
"Little Anna" [
2072]
You told me in one letter that we liked "to play alone" -
"others disturbed the playmates" we had. How true to me is
that same feeling of wanting to be alone - how I hate social
calls and the disturbing effect others bring into my playmate
thoughts. If I could just look on to what people need but
not have to enter their social life I could help them so much
more. When I am in the midst of their vibrations I become so
tired, but if I can sit aside - just hear and see without
their seeing or talking to me - I can go and create for them
in meditation with love if they do not sit and gnaw away my
time and weary me with a million flitting thoughts.
I sometimes wish I could go to a secluded spot away from
people and then go inward into myself until I could be
satisfied; and then look out upon good and worthy thoughts
only and help them grow - healing here, grouping good people
together for an ideal there, etc.
Your work is lovely and beautiful. I wish I might do
something like it. To get to the actual CAUSE and REMEDY for
an ill condition is getting to the TRUTH itself. I loath
this blind veil of falsity, superficiality and ignorance,
fear, selfishness that seems to hang so heavily like a fog
everywhere. I wish I could get inside and know causes and
truths and help others by knowing these.
Do you remember, in my reading, telling me that in my French
incarnation I "knew of, and turned oft in mind the influences
which direct men and peoples in their courses of progress" -
"and oft such may direct the aims and activities of a whole
country or the whole activities of many, many people." This
knowledge came back to me in this incarnation and I love
using it for good and constructive creating - IF people would
not tire and weary me with other things so I can not have
quietness and time to meditate.
That reading was so truly my soul - oh I wish more people
could understand that it is not because I do not love them
that I want quietness and aloneness, but that I saturate
myself too much with too many non-important things that they
carry about themselves when I must remain long in their
presence. I love to work with thought in the causal realm
and do not like to talk very much.
And now, if you can understand it, you know more of my heart
than anybody. [
1861] cannot QUITE understand that part of me
yet.
Well, enough!
My love, again, [
2072]
Oh, thank you so very much for "Underneath the Bough" [book
of poetry by Edna Greene Hines]. We received it this morning
and know we shall enjoy it.
[
1861] is having me enclose check for his reading this
morning also.
12/31/40 EC's ltr. to [
2072] and [
1861]:
Dear [
2072] and [
1861]:-
Wish I knew how to put into words the joy I experienced in
reading your letter of the 29th - guess there is no way to
tell it tho, as words do not fit into meditation - but can be
still and listen to a something deep within and easily
imagine am listening to little Anna again, as we played by
the spring, or the hay rick or in the garden with the little
playmates or walked through the fields of grain careful to
walk with the rows so as not to disturb the growing and
ripening grain - for each head of grain were alive to us and
the little folk, with a message of thought and care of God
for the children of men, in same, preparing food for bodily
growth.
Just so was your letter, a message with love and thought, I
do not find oft and thus you two come so close to me, I
wonder and wonder.
Glad for you [
1861] as well as Mother [...] that you were
home for Christmas. Hope you had the loveliest time ever -
glad you had a nice visit to Dr. Dobbins, is fine that you
speak so nice of him. Believe he is indeed a God fearing
man, conscientious as they make them, desirous of doing good
for good's sake. Glad you met Miss [
2348] she is such a
lovely person - yet so conscious of her self - made so by the
fear that has crept in from the pessimism of the worldly
wise, am so glad some help has come to her. Do so hope she
can hold on to what she has gained and go on to even better.
So you have to be put into a corset. Just hope that will do
the trick and you will get the materiel benefits you should
from same.
My what a cold gloomy place N.Y. can be even among the many
one can be so lonesome for quiet they become homesick for the
world outside, where they may go within for comfort and
quiet.
Oh you must if at all practical spend some time here this
Summer. Think can we have a few walks in the wood and pine
get close to nature again each will be able to recall much -
as said at the first - when read this portion of your letter
can remain quiet, there are no words to express the emotions
- and if it is just pure imagination - I say as the old lady
[[
4277]?] said to her son a few years ago - when he told her
the suggestions from the reading didn't help it was all her
imagination and her reply to him was - Son then may it please
God to give me some more imagination. But can see and feel
those days of yore - with all the sorrow and fear gone - just
the PEACE that comes from being close to the LOVE of the
CHRIST.
Thank you [
2072] - wish I might be able to write even one
person so as to bring as much assurance of the "PERSONAL LOVE
OF GOD" as you have here in this letter - the assurance that
each individual needs that their doubts may be turned in to
sereneness - quiet and joy that all that and more you have
brought me today - thanks to you and to HIM for through you
speaking to me.
They sent you the package today that H. L. wrote you about
[Duplicate readings which she offered to index] - would like
to sit with you and [
1861] some time as you read those - and
gather the help that may be of an universal nature. Just
hope it doesn't grate on you too often but am sure it will
help - and know constructive criticism is as helpful oft as a
pat on the back. So make it severe if it should be.
Is so helpful or seems so to me, that one can see themselves
described in some former experience - and almost get the
glimpse of the actual happening.
Oh - how you recall so much of those days today - almost lose
myself - can't eve write, read a bit of your letter - then
get lost in thought - and there is nothing to say. Words
can, won't express what you feel - O and do I know just what
you mean yet - we have to live our lives with others - words
- have to be said now and then that we may not lose contact -
and people - so many people - are voluble with words and say
nothing. How to use such experiences - seem only for the few
- and know must not condemn others because they can't see or
feel that nearness to the Universal consciousness.
Thank you Anna - yes I understand and love you all over again
for it.
Glad you received the booklet - will tell you the story of it
and its Author some time - tell me just how you and [
1861]
respond to it won't you?
And the appointment for the Reading for [
1861] - the
afternoon of the 6th - 3.30 to 4.30 E.S.T. hope that is
convenient for each of you. Send questions and let me know
just where he will be.
Hope to hear from you again soon - Thank you - for this is
the loveliest letter ever received from anyone - hope - O
just know you understand want to write on and on - yet know
the words am saying mean little - it is what you and [
1861]
read between the lines that I don't say that will also mean
the most to you.
Let me know what you think of the work given you - please.
With love to each of you

2072]'s ltr. to EC:
Dear Eddie,
We were so sorry you were ill, but Hugh Lynn said you are
better now and we are glad of that.
Will write more at length soon, but want to say thank you for
letting us read your readings of '24 and '25. When one can
understand the inward workings of the Universe as to why and
what we are - or I should say when one can GLIMPSE them, for
they are not always EASY to "UNDERSTAND" - one can only
marvel and thank you and God for a "little light" on the Way.
I love working on these readings. There is much to be gained
from them of an universal and even personal nature. "Grate
on us too often"! No, indeed! We're just thirsty enough we
can't get enough. And criticism - what criticism can one
give you, when you are doing your best to show His Way to us.
How you make me hungry for the sweetness of those
"sweetheart" days, when our minds and hearts seemed
communicative, mindful, and understanding and respectful of
God, nature and His All-Inclusive Love. Wish we could live
them over. Up until 1938, when I visited an author of a
philosophical book I loved, and then a little later heard of
you through reading [
1861]'s physical reading in 1939, I had
never known anyone personally who spoke of God and Jesus in
the way I understood them or "felt" them. I want you
sometime to read this book "Eneres, or the Questions of
Reksa" (Eneres - "serene" backward; Reksa - "asker"
backward). Enclosed is his "Great Prayer" from it. Eneres,
as I have known, loved and called him since I read his book
and visited him when he gave me the book for my own, passed
from the earth plane October 23, 1940. We corresponded
almost weekly and I adopted him as a sort of soul and
spiritual father. Sometime I want to know in what other
incarnation I've known him for I know I've been with him
before just as I know I've been with you. His was a sweet,
pure, child-like, innocent, blessing, gentle, and loving
attitude toward everyone and everything - for everything was
God's. I know you have had countless books sent you to read
but I truly think you'll find a simplicity, sweetness,
freshness, (above all) LOVE here, and a LOVE-RHYTHM, you will
adore and marvel over as I do. It expresses the Ideal we
both feel and long for in and throughout all peoples.
I'm sending it to you today. Thank you for a million sweet
things you've said. Love, [
2072]
[margin note: and since I'm sending it, you'll find the
prayer on page 74.]
1/13/41 EC's ltr. to [
2072]:
Dear "little Anna"
Thanks for yours of the 10th - yes am thankful to say am
feeling fine now - but Mrs. C. is quite ill - she was taken
just like I was - she has had a lot of trouble with an eye
injury she had some time ago and the cold seems to have
settled in that eye and is giving her a lot of trouble - do
hope she will be better soon.
Glad to have you read any of the information we have - to get
a glimpse now and then of the way - is certainly encouraging
- and oft feel if didn't have those from some source - would
be hard indeed for me.
Glad you like working on the readings - how would like to
walk in some time and discuss some of them with you and
[
1861].
What a revelation to me at times to think of you two - the
personalities have known - and know, makes me want to know
more and don't know what it is that wish to know - for - for
very definite reason both are etched so thoroughly on my mind
- that have to shake my head at times and wonder - how was it
that I have been permitted to see so differently for some
folks - and what should I do about it. Can't separate either
of you from the impressions of my boyhood days - and think
were given to know you that might really know what real LOVE
is, in a material world. Yes wish oft to talk about those
times. And they are still in the now.
Just received the Book - will read and return soon as can -
have to tell you tho am a slow reader - for such as this have
to digest as I read it - from what you say must have been a
wonderful Soul.
The Prayer is lovely - funny took the reading this morning
before the mail came. That was when the book came. So
hadn't seen it or heard of it - but when I awoke from a
physical reading [See note at end of 2426-1]. Had the
feeling of having talked with some one didn't know who but
they had said to me - "You speak of others understanding
'know the LORD THY GOD IS ONE' - do you not see that is the
greatest proof of the reality of what is called
re-incarnation, ONE those you have known, do know you see
them as one, don't you, you see their personalities even as
one - names confuse - some - but should never confuse you -
words convey meaning yes - but no word conveys LOVE that is -
as GOD is. Always was - always will be - use it never abuse
it." Funny isn't it when you read the prayer. But tell me
what would you call that??
Thank you more than can tell you for sending the book - am a
poor reader but will am sure enjoy this very much.
With lots of love to each of you - do hope the reading for
[
1861] will be good.
Ever the same Eddie
2/02/41 (Sunday) [
2072]'s ltr. to EC:
Dear Eddie,
Your last letter [
1/21/41 - See under
1861-6 Reports] was so
very beautiful I am sorry I couldn't sit down and reply and
thank you for it immediately, as you always make me feel like
doing - instantly I receive one. You are one segment of God
so close to us that we want to say things right when our
hearts feel deepest and not delay. But I didn't reply
immediately and went to bed with a cold and fevers and sweats
for two or three days. I'm just now really and truly feeling
like my old self again and can breathe naturally again. I
didn't suffer the weakness of body that is usual with the
flu, after one gets up, but the "co'd in the 'ead" hung
'round a while so I just stayed in and had some opportunity
to work on the readings.
I do hope Mrs. Cayce is perfectly well again now, too.
[
1861]'s recital went off well. He can certainly make me
feel proud of him. How I wish I'd kept up my violin, but
hope I can sometime pick it up again from him. His
remarkable memory makes me wonder and marvel - to know note
for note 300 to 400 compositions is almost breath-taking.
We do wish you could have come to the recital, but we can
also understand how your appointments keep you busy.
We have the vibrator now and have been using it nightly in
the manner given by the reading. We have asked Dr. Dobbins
to get the Violet Ray as we were unable to get one in ...
We are planning on getting an osteopathic treatment from Dr.
Richardson on Monday, Feb. 17 and [
1861] says we're going to
have to see you then. If everything works with us, we're
going to stay in Virginia Beach Saturday night and Sunday,
15th and 16th. We'd kind of like to walk into Sunday School
as a surprise but guess we'd better really let you know
because we want very much to see you and not miss you.
Rather come some other time than do that.
I am glad you like the book, Eneres. It doesn't matter how
long it takes you to read it, if you enjoy it.
The Chinese incarnation was most interesting and we were glad
to have authentic information on the use of Aluminum.
You know, Eddie, I would sometime soon like to have another
reading - physical - to explain some particular conditions in
my body - certain reactions from certain foods. There are so
many things I can't eat: either greens or sweets, or the
combination of the two, cause a peculiar aching sensation at
the thyroid gland. It's like a lump in the throat. When it
comes right down to it there are only about two things I can
eat without any bad result; those two are orange juice with
egg yolk and honey and chicken soup. I can't eat the almonds
suggested in my reading. Almonds, peas, beans fill me so
full of heat they inflame me inside and my nerves and blood
become prickly.
Too, I want to know if the sacral and lumbar regions are
adjusted and if I might now carry a child and give it a
HEALTHY body. I'd like to know if the orange juice, chicken
soup and ice cream would be sufficient diet during pregnancy.
Could such questions as these be asked: What is the best
time (month and year) for [
1861] and I to conceive a child?
What entity would we attract - i.e., who entity has been in
past lives, briefly?
Do such questions seem unnecessary? They seem necessary to
me for several reasons which, if answered, would harmonize a
great many things. The food problem is made the more
difficult for me because so many things disagree with me and
mother worries me to eat things that do not agree with me
fearing orange juice and chicken soup are not enough. I want
to give body (a HEALTHY one) to an incoming entity and I want
to allow it the best possible development we can give it.
Knowing inner causes and laws as we do, there is no reason
why all attention and care and wisdom could not be given by
us to some little entity - To watch, guide and aid it through
its developing years. [
1861] says he doesn't feel quite able
to cope with a child at present, fears he isn't making
enough, etc.
I don't think, then, my motives for such a reading will be
anything but understood by you. I have wanted to get
[
1861]'s eyes pretty well adjusted before thinking of
motherhood - you see the question "when", then, is rather
important too. Now, there comes the feeling there should be
some little child developing here with us. I want to know
something, too, and I'm most afraid to ask for fear people
will laugh or misconstrue, but I really want an answer from
the plane from which you give the readings. It is
answerable, I'm sure, and would be beautiful to know &
understand; and it would be beautifully explained I'm
certain. This: What is immaculate conception? Is it
possible for the ordinary woman? Would the opening of the
mind to such an ideal make it possible? Are there any
entities now awaiting such a method of birth?
Seems like there are a million questions in me, I'll bet, but
the answers which come through you are TRUTH to me so I
wouldn't hesitate to ask anything and know it would be
answered from the very source of Truth itself - God. And God
would answer questions, where they are sincerely asked for
spiritual betterment I'm sure, with perfect understanding of
motive as a Father answering his children's questions. Don't
you feel so?
Most sincerely,
My Love, "Little Anna"

2072] and [
1861]:
Dear [
2072] and [
1861]:
Good to have yours of the 2nd, wish now could just walk in
and have a good long talk with each of you, but so often wish
that might be with you, that is nothing new. Do hope your
cold is much better [
2072] and that you are feeling your good
self again. Mrs. Cayce is still quite ill not up to the
standard for her at all. While she is trying to stay up as
much as she can, trying to get her strength back, at times
she says she makes a very poor out at it.
Don't know of any thing would have been better than being
able to be at the recital, am delighted that it went off so
well. Know you are proud of [
1861] and as his sight gets
better and you take up your violin again, well the tie will
just grow stronger and stronger. Am very much persuaded
myself that people grow closer or away from each other as
they interest themselves in that each is working at all the
while.
Wish you could come down on Saturday and be here over Sunday
- would like to have you in our class again, don't know as
have so much to give but just to have you two present, is
wonderful, among my first experiences of being in Church was
going with [
1861] when he was B. A. - so am sure he would
have and does have an experience when he hears me trying to
give any thing from the Scripture. But will be very glad to
see you all, and let us know when you are to arrive and will
see you if you haven't your appointment with Dr. Richardson
at the time. If so will send in and get you right afterward
anyway. Know you will like to see the new Offices and H. L.
will have a lot to say to you about the cards - they are fine
and possibly you will have suggestions about the work. Hope
so.
I like the book very much "Eneres" have read some of it many
times and wish to again if I may, before returning it.
Think you will find a great deal of information of many kinds
as you work over the reading - a most interesting Life
reading for a little girl [
2444] day or so ago. She is a
Jewess now, and was a Sister superior in the last life here.
Is the daughter of a Rabbi now - and says she will be very
much interested in a young man who is Catholic. Interesting
- but guess will be somewhat confusing to some of the family.
Your reading would be most interesting, with certain
individuals have given quite a bit on foods, and especially
what they were allergic to and why. So, guess that would be
right down your alley - as they say.
Possibly you take the Almonds with other things - try a bit
of them alone some time, not much but just a little. There
are food values in them that seldom found in any thing else.
And should be good for you, but if they cause discomfort
leave them off.
Sure all such questions are reasonable, and am sure you would
get very direct answers and usually why. As to just what
entity would come, don't know that that would be answered, -
we are having a series of readings now for the prayer group
all about the preparation of the body and minds of
perspective parents [See [
281] series on glands]. Will try
and have a series of these ready for you when you are down.
Am sure they would be of interest to you, and might answer
some of your questions. But of course what you wish is
individual, and these might help you arrange such questions
also.
You have the right attitude toward Motherhood, and am sure
these readings will be just the thing in a general way for
you at this time - then you can have your specific questions
answered better am sure. Will be a real pleasure to at least
undertake such a reading for you and [
1861].
Why should any one laugh at such a question - has been asked
by one or two already - you may be sure there are not many
things that haven't been asked at one time or another. It is
always tho the approach one makes that causes the answer to
be very definite or evasive. And feel sure you will be able
to get many of your questions answered - don't think you
would have too many.
Yes - it is with the same sincerity of purpose that the
answers come as with which they are asked. That is why some
get so much fuller answers than others and too at times the
explanation if asked with doubt or curiosity - is more
complex than the questions themselves. But I like your
questions - and your approach to them - but know you will be
most interested in this series of readings. Was begun on
Glands, that we might understand Revelation. And has given
us thus far attitude of mind, and of body, what takes place
under each character of attitude of body or mind - and what
character of entity is attracted, uses the characters of the
Bible to illustrate. Deep much of it, but very beautiful.
Will be looking to hear from you when you are to arrive the
15th or 16th and am of course most anxious to see you both
and to have you with us just as much as you can possibly give
us - you will have dinner with us Sunday the 16th won't you.
Will try and have you plenty of Orange Juice and Chicken
soup. Will you come? Please do.
With lots of love to each of you

Dear Eddie,
I am deeply appreciative of the Readings on the Endocrine
Glands that you sent. It seems like that whenever we need an
answer to something and want very much to know Truths and
First Causes you supply the means or give it yourself. Thank
you. These seem to answer some of the many questions in my
mind.
We were certainly glad to have your letter, too. We are
sorry that Mrs. Cayce has had to suffer the illness and
weakness. So many who have had flu here have had such a
difficult time getting their strength back. I feel fortunate
in not having had that resultant weakness.
We'll be only too happy to accept your invitation to Sunday
dinner. Sweet of you to think of the orange juice and
chicken soup. I can make a meal on just chicken broth and
love it! We're going to love being with you again and having
as much talk as we can with you while we're there for that is
our reason for coming.
[
1861] has classes on Saturday morning, so we won't be able
to make an appointment with Dr. Richardson before Monday as
we will not get in Norfolk Saturday until 4:30 P.M. He is
cancelling his Monday classes so he may get the treatment on
Monday. We're coming down Saturday, though, arriving at
Norfolk on the 4:30 train, so hope that we can see you
Saturday evening, go to Sunday School Sunday, and then see
you Sunday.
I'm happy you like Eneres so well, and indeed I don't mind
your keeping it as long as you want and enjoy reading it.
That's the way it took me - made me want to read it over and
over and drink in its sweetness and cleanness and freshness.
Perhaps the suggestion on almonds was a good one. I've been
eating them with apples and oranges and grapes and they seem
a good and satisfying meal.
We're wanting to see the offices and I'm anxious to talk to
Hugh Lynn about the indexing. Seems like this visit works in
just at the right time. As I haven't heard from Hugh Lynn
I've been going on with the readings, but I do need some more
cards - small, both white and cherry.
We certainly are looking forward to being able to talk to you
again. Be looking forward, then.
Lovingly, Little Anna [

Dearest Eddie,
Oh, it was hard coming away from you the other night - I felt
like I wanted to stay always with you, to know and be beside
you in your every experience. The things that you related
ring over and over in my ears. How I have thought over those
experiences that you related as the Chariot of God, the two
beautiful experiences in which your mother materialized the
peace dollars to prove it was unnecessary to worry and the
morning vision "Who shall warn my people".
It was GOOD to be near you. I cannot nearly say my feelings.
And we want to thank you, Mrs. Cayce and Hugh Lynn, Edgar and
everybody for their kindness.
We liked Dr. Richardson very much and the treatment given
[
1861] was excellent. He used a different technique from Dr.
Dobbins, which was especially effective in relaxing nerve
tensions in neck, head, and upper back. We can see how each
of these doctors is and was best for the particular work to
be done at the particular time.
As we haven't yet received the double eye electrode we are
using the single applicator one minute on each eye until you
are able to get the information regarding length of time for
treatment.
Couldn't help but think of you very often since we've
returned. For instance: I went to ... with mother Tuesday
and that evening after I returned [
1861] and I were
exchanging our thoughts and activities of the day to find
we'd both been thinking of you between 3 and 4 in the
afternoon, while I had also had you very strongly on my mind
on the drive into ... from 10 to 11 in the morning.
I wanted to have a reading Sunday while there, but I wanted
to have you more than it because I can't have you all the
time, but can have the reading any time. Will wait a while
now for it, I guess.
Love, Little Anna

Dear [
2072]
Well - it's Saturday again. Wish was expecting you and
[
1861] again this afternoon, wouldn't that be just lovely.
But certainly did enjoy having you with us. Am more than
pleased to know that [
1861] was pleased with his treatment
from Dr. Richardson. Think he is a fine man and an excellent
osteopath I suppose it - the information - takes every thing
into consideration, for it sent Miss [
2348] back to Dr.
Dobbins. And would be so much better for her if she could
get what is needed right here.
Thank you, hated to see you leave so soon. Realized hadn't
said half what had thought would say, and talked little or
none of many things wished to ask each of you about. Do hope
you feel that I was not trying to impress you by telling you
of the marvelous things that has been my privilege to
experience. They have been periods to me that can't tell
every one about, and suppose when got started just couldn't
help but keep on. They are experiences that have taken the
place of so much I feel at times have lost - yet not lost,
but hope you know just what I mean, of course I was a child a
little child, but when one comes first face to face with
death as we know it. Of those they have and do love so very
much, well something has gone, or lost or grown into
something else. And such experiences seem to be an
assurance, they have only changed relations, and make those
loved ones just nearer and dearer to you - making one
realize there is work to do, and one so oft feels not fitted
for it. And without that assurance just couldn't go on.
The Chariot was the most awe inspiring of possibly all my
experiences yet. One doubts their own eyes and feel. But
with Mother and the materialization one feels so little, for
ever doubting anything God has promised - and about us there
is so much earthy thought. One gets rubbed the wrong way so
much as to feel unreal most of the time.
Wish you had suggested about the reading - you know some time
wish you to take the reading, or make the suggestion when the
reading is being given. Would have been more than glad to
have had your reading - well when you come again will be sure
and get your reading - am sure will be much better for you to
be present when it is given.
Can make it for any time you wish - but feel it would be much
better were you present at the time.
All enjoyed having you, and hope when you come down again you
will do just the same thing spend the day with us here -
won't you.
Thanks again for every thing, write real soon.
With loads of love to each of you Eddie
2/24/41 (Monday) [

Dearest Eddie,
Oh, if I could just wrap you up in my heart and keep you
there! Eddie, that love is just as truly there for you now
as it was when we were little sweethearts. Nor does it take
any of my love for [
1861]. I can love you both for you are
both OF GOD and BEAUTIFUL souls.
You must not apologize for relating your experiences. We
love it when we can be alone with you (almost selfishly so)
and can sit and listen. They are golden treasures we carry
back in our hearts to think over and become deeper and better
by because of the relation of very deep love for you that
both of us feel. No, there are not many people who could
understand those experiences and know how much they mean to
you, but when we listen to you we feel like we are for a time
in the very heart and soul of you and God. These things are
God and Love and Goodness and Beauty and are, then, the Real,
not the false and superficial things of unrealness. We know
them to be true - we feel them, again - when you relate them,
to be as vibrant and filled with Love of God and the White
Brotherhood as though they were experiences of our own. You,
of all people we have known, have that true humbleness, awe,
respect, spirituality within that we have looked for in
others, who attempt to teach humanity, and find it hard to
find. To [
1861] and I that is the most beautiful thing we
have ever felt or known in this lifetime.
Oh, I wish - and sincerely, from my heart - that I'd lived on
then, in that life, for a richer development and expression
of that love to you. But the feeling is still there,
although my expression can not entirely be what I want to
make it. Please may you draw upon my inner heart for
whatever you need when you need it, - for we are in contact
with each other again and Love can help in so many things in
this sometimes unkind and trying, stumbling world.
Did you know how much I've wanted to give the suggestion and
take a reading, (Wish I could ALL of them) but I'd like to
take one allowing "It" to have full power to take our two
souls where it would. Let it develop or "read" from our two
souls what It wanted or wished to. I believe that would be
the most beautiful reading and attunement to God we could
mutually know. Don't you?
Keep me - always - warm Love - in your heart for any need.
I'll be there.
Devotedly, Little Anna
2/28/41 (Friday morning) [
2072]'s ltr. to EC:
My Dear Eddie,
So here we are with the sweetness and sanctity of the
childhood pledge "full sweet" still traced upon our hearts
and souls. The beauty and wonder of it! I could not
understand what pulled and tugged at my heart and soul from
the moment I heard of you and your work, until little by
little you have told me of experiences that have helped me to
understand. I often feel things intuitively but do not - can
not - explain them by any facts of MATERIAL being. It seemed
as though you were part of my heart and soul. Truly - how
wishes and longings and love are invisible forces, bonds
stronger and more powerful than any chains. And so, by them,
we are woven together, again and again, in one little pattern
of the universe. The beauty of this inner part of the
universe that holds one so in wonder and exaltation - like
the unseen mechanisms behind the face of the watch, which we
cannot see unless we turn it over and look inside - how
marvelous it is! Like you, it gives me great wonder. But it
gives me great happiness to feel it working.
I want to know more sometime - we must MAKE that sometime -
of little Eddie and Anna. That time has not been given us
yet, but I pray that it may be. I feel as though I stand
with the pledge on my lips even now.
God has been good to us in teaching and showing us in such a
beautiful little experience so many things - of love, of
life, of death, of the spiritual things.
Please may we have the reading from our two SOULS, sometime,
when I'm there that I might sit beside you and conduct. I
want it so very, very much. There is a lesson there, a
message. I want to know. I feel it, I felt it last June,
and each time I am with you or hear from you.
[
1861] wrote you yesterday. He spoke sweetly. When
understanding comes and we know we are truly ALL PART of
GOD there is no misunderstanding, jealousy and the like - we
all share together in what we can give and receive from
love, harmony and spiritual qualities from one another.
[
1861] and I have always wanted to share the other with all
who need their love, and we find ourselves loving one
another the more - because love becomes habitual, richer in
expression one for the other in that in allowing the other
to express love wherever it feels it wants to (unhindered)
it can feel the fullness of a spiritual beauty to increase
Love everywhere in God's universe. Love is the only thing
that shall make men brothers instead of enemies. We all
need to be wrapt and bound with unforgettable bonds of Love
to keep us in unison with God, Good, Beauty and Harmony.
Please give Mrs. Cayce our sincerest wishes for better
health. Hope Dr. Richardson has been able to help her very
much by now.
And for yourself - little Anna's kiss. I love you.
"Little Anna"
3/10/41 [
2072]'s ltr. to EC:
Dearest Eddie,
Your letters are always so good to get. I guess I can most
live on them like food. Each one adds something sweet and
rich to the heart and soul of me. You give something
spiritual to life that I find it hard to live without. I
wish, ever so sincerely, that I could perform as great and
helpful a work as that which you give to those who need help.
I should be HAPPY if I could do so much.
Yes, we had snow March 1st and again the 7th. The one March
1st was the first snow storm I had seen since visiting
Indiana in 1928 and the snowflakes and blanket of white
thrilled and satisfied a hungry yearning to see and feel snow
again. Today is warm and sunshiny and only tiny patches of
snow have remained in the shady places. Perhaps you can't
understand why I loved seeing the snow - most people can't -
but there is something artistically satisfying in seeing it
about once a year if it causes no harm - to me anyway.
California has never been quite complete to me without the
feeling that comes from Nature through seasonal changes.
Each season has its own beauty and changes are invigorating
to me. Spring wild flowers, birds, woods, autumn leaves,
etc. - I love them all - even as I did as little Anna, I
guess.
It is good to have you tell of little incidents from that
time. They seem such full days - those days of nature,
beauty, God, and Love.
Had a lovely letter from Mrs. [
1770] a few days ago, from
Palm Springs. Her letters are always vivid with beauty and
joy from doing things. There is an emanation from both she
and [
1771] that makes one glad to say "I'm thankful for good
friends - and they are two friends whom I am thankful for."
They give something spiritual and good from their soul to
others souls.
We're very glad Mrs. Cayce is better. I hope she will be
able to have the work done in Kentucky soon, too. And she
should have it done as soon as possible.
And if any or all of you drive through to Kentucky, please
drive through ... and stay a little with us if you possibly
can. Please! If you can stay, or, if you can't any more
than say hello - either way.
Could you, sometime when you have time, tell me what has come
through the readings on immaculate conception? I would
appreciate it very much.
Eddie, as we don't know just when we shall be able to get
down there again and since we want to save to be sure we can
come down for convention, I wonder if you would give me a
physical reading soon. I'd like ever so much to be there
when it is given, but think it might be best to have it now
as there might be treatment or advice that I should be
carrying out now. I'd like it to be a check reading as there
are still some conditions in my body that are not right or
need explanation anyway. Will you make an appointment and
tell me the price of the check reading so we can send the
money. I am enclosing five questions. Perhaps you can
re-word the last question. What I would like is that
information of physical nature that can be given through such
as a physical reading, for I realize the very nature of
immaculate conception is spiritual and hence could be
answered more by such a reading (spiritual, that is).
My sincerest love, [
2072]
P.S. Received Hugh Lynn's letter, at last, O.K. Tell him
not to forget this is ...
My reason for asking the price of the reading was because I
thought it was $10 and [
1861] thought it was $20. Would you
explain prices of all readings, please.
3/12/41 EC's ltr. to [
2072]:
Virginia Beach, Va.
Dear [
2072]:
Thanks for yours of the 10th - always like sunshine to hear
from you. Makes me feel all young again, feel as if might be
the little boy you encouraged so, in the long long ago. And
yet is new, now, for it hasn't changed one bit. Am sure love
never does. Had felt possibly such things were lost,
forgotten but no, they are ever life giving, creative, God
like. Live on and on to brighten the lives of all it
touches. Could do, did you say you bring cheer, love and
life into the lives of all you contact, and if am ever worth
much to any one, will be part of your doing.
Bright here today - but cold and weather man promises more
cold. But clear, we did not have snow this last storm just
rain, but that is disagreeable enough for me. Yes, think I
do understand about you and the snow - more than you realize.
Remember our first snow together, and how you held your
little face up and laughed and laughed as the snowflakes
pelted your little face. And have never seen a snow that
haven't looked up into same, and thought of that time, with
you. So think I know, it is those little things [
2072], that
get deep down under, and make my poor old heart beat a bit
quicker, and am assured more and more, of the continuity of
mind - heart and soul, as has been expressed here in this
world of ours - how Good Oh how good God has been to us to
let us find each other. No, to let know that is better.
What a use we may make of such knowledge to others - possibly
give hope, founded in HIM and HIS promises.
Had a letter from Mrs. [
1770] & [
1771] not so long ago -
such beautiful descriptions of the trips they take in Cal.
What beauty must be there, how near one must feel to God, as
they view the majestic beauty all about - all nature speaking
of HIM. As we have special company coming this week and
think Gertrude has put off her trip for day or so, sorry, for
am sure she should have had something done long ago. Do hope
she will get lots of help from these treatments, when she
does go, but am sure the trip will help also, for she will be
home. And HOME is a very pleasing satisfying word carries -
a spirituality, we seldom find in words. Don't know as am
able to tell you or to put into words, what has been given
regards immaculate conception. To be sure several times
questions have been asked. Think possibly, most and the best
way will be from your question in the reading for you. Am
making the period for the morning of the 18th 10.30 to 11.30
E.S.T. my birthday, can't imagine any thing nicer than being
with you on that day - hope you get just what is needed at
this time. Wish you were taking the reading. The board
[
2072] set the contribution for the readings some time ago it
is like this, all readings where others may be taken with
them - for we can oft take several check readings at once, or
where a period may be divided up. Such readings are 10.
Where the entire period is taken it is 20. Some at times
wish to have a whole period even for their check readings,
but never is there a question of fee as am sure you know.
Please don't let that ever bother or worry you. Please for
if there is any one in the whole world I owe much to it is to
you and [
1861].
Do hope you can get down soon, but can well understand about
many things, and hope you will spend several weeks here this
summer - so let me help you save if possible for that.
Bye for the time. Could write on and on am sure, but
possibly have said enough for once.
With dearest love to each of you
Edgar Cayce (Eddie)
3/13/41 (Thursday evening) [
2072]'s ltr. to EC:
Dearest Eddie,
Thank you for your "birthday". It was sweet of you to give
me that day for a reading. Maybe with the attunement for the
reading I can also convey something of a birthday love wish,
since I can't be there and take the reading. (I wish I
might! and give you a Little Anna & [
2072] kiss before and
after it.)
Thank you for so many things said. I can also, from the
bottom of my heart, say that I have been able more to "find"
myself since I have found my "Little Eddie" again. I don't
feel nearly so lost since I've found you and [
1861]. I felt
lost in my own family - unable to express my true feelings
regarding things the way I felt them.
When you told of the love of the snowflakes - how I envied
little Anna in her freedom of her expressions. They're the
things that I feel, really, and can't always say and do.
It's more than joy itself to have your understanding.
Sometime will you describe little Anna in appearance. I've
often wondered if features, colorings, and build are similar
in two different lives of one entity. Wish we could dig up a
picture of Anna [
2072] and [
1861] Barney.
I am working on the reading of [
161], paralytic in 1930. Can
you tell us how that case came out? There is so much of
human interest in each case - I feel like I wanted to know
all about each one - want to see each one well and happy.
You don't know how the wonder and beauty in each reading
makes me want to hug each reading tight in my arms. Funny
way to express it, but I mean: they're so filled with Good
and God I love them, what they say, what they do for people.
We are enclosing check for a full period reading. I'll be
here at home in body, but there in spirit.
Love and devotion, Little Anna
Will you please give the enclosed questions to H. L. to reply
to along with the others I sent him.
