Dear Gladys:
I have been meaning to write to you for a very long time. In
my rush to get income taxes out of the way before going to
Texas, I put off writing and as you can imagine, there was
not a quiet moment down there. In our troubles, I appealed
to Mr. Cayce, as you know, and tomorrow or within the next
few days, I hope to write to him in detail. [
2246] who is
still in Texas says that a map and proposition is being sent
to me which seems to have to do with drilling about where Mr.
Cayce indicated it would be good to drill and I shall wait
until I get this map before writing. Unfortunately we
couldn't do any cleaning and shooting as we were told so the
whole attempt had to be abandoned. I wish I had asked Mr.
Cayce before the location was picked. As a matter of fact I
had intended it to be a little farther east, but it was
shifted slightly westward, I think, because of the doodlebug
of a man named Staples who I believe picked the actual site.

2091]'s letter to EC:
Dear Mr. Cayce:
Dr. [
2246] wrote that he was sending me a proposition and map
about some land near where the Information indicated that a
well should be drilled. This "proposition" however, turned
out to be merely the fact that 1000 acres could be purchased
about a mile south of the spot 4 1/2 to 5 miles due east of
the Ogg well for $5.00 per acre plus a deep test. I could
take a part interest in a well and buy up a little acreage,
but this is too big a proposition to try and swing. I had
hoped that it might be one about which I might write to you,
as I wish I had done in the case of the Ogg well, before
starting. Ogg switched his location slightly westward
because of the findings of a man with a doodlebug and from
what the Information gave, I think we should have got a well
but for this change.
I appreciated very much the fact that you were willing to
break in upon your program and try to help me with readings.
I was at a loss to know what to do and turned to you for
help. When we had gone down the requisite number of feet, it
was impossible to clean and shoot as suggested as the driller
was anxious to get his rig away and it would have meant a big
expense to set pipe and shoot. Therefore we decided to shut
down and perhaps pick a site farther east or north on another
occasion. Having tried three times unsuccessfully, I hope we
may be able to get a real well next time. We shall have to
wait, however, until someone comes along who will join with
us in drilling again. It interested me very much to see that
the Information spoke of this last territory very differently
from the way the Carmerson land farther north was referred
to. It seemed too that this last area must be an entirely
different structure. Again very many thanks indeed for
stepping in and helping me when I most needed help. I
enclose a check for $40.00 which would be for one reading
and two check readings. Is that right?

2/15/43 [
2091]'s letter to EC:
Have you any more news of Texas or of world events? I have
a note from Dr. [
2246] this morning telling me of a rumor
that while the government was drilling for water for a
camp to the south (and presumably east) of the Ogg well, gas
and oil bubbled up in the mud and had to be cemented off.
This rumor supposedly came from a member of the drilling
crew.
Yours very sincerely,
6/03/43 He referred Miss [
3328] for a Life Reading and a
Physical reading for her mother, [
3097].
12/30/59 GD's note: To this date Mr. [
2091] had remained
interested in A.R.E. work.
