(Q) You will give more explicit and detailed information
concerning the organization as referred to in the previous
reading.
(A) This we have as here, in the mind of [
2667] and
associates, some whom he has broached the subject and
conditions. There is the intent and purpose to complete
the manufacturing of certain materials that may be dispensed
through regular channels. As to the best course to pursue,
under such conditions, are as these:
First, interest those of such capacity, financially,
that there may be no hindrances in the financing of such
proposition. After there has been contacts, or verbal, (that
is, when the departmental heads of such institutions as might
dispose of such manufactured articles) with these, present
the conditions to those that desire to be associated with
him, [
2667] we are speaking of, in such an undertaking.
With this we find there will be no trouble in financing such
proposition, neither will there be trouble in having such
proposition make a success, or as we have at the present
conditions.
The manufacturer, the heads, as representated now in that of
[
2667], prepare in the beginning such conditions that those
who make the success of the undertaking may share with him
in the success. In this manner we will find is the correct
manner to launch such an undertaking at this time, for, as
given, we will find there will be in this land some stirring
times, financially, through economics, political, conditions
that will cause disturbance in all channels of trade and
endeavors, yet with the existing conditions, and with the
conditions that are to arise, this is the correct time to
prepare for such an undertaking, for we have these characters
to meet: Machinery for such at such a time is foreign made.
This is a propitious time to have such installed. Laborers
in foreign fields are such that at this time better
agreements, better contracts, better conditions, may be
made. More satisfactory conditions may be made than at other
times. Have conditions however set at first hand as to the
developing of same, for under such conditions, as given, this
may be made, and will be made a very successful operation.
(Q) Just what is meant by "interest those departmental heads
and the business interests that would be the disposition of
such an output"?
(A) Just as has been given. Those channels through which
the output would be handled. Interest those departmental
heads in such an undertaking. Then there will be no troubles
in the output being disposed of. Let them be interested
financially, and financially in the success of the
undertaking. That is, own interest in the manufacturing
plant, stock in same.
(Q) You will give more detailed information as to
the hindrances or troubles that might be expected,
as referred to in the reading.
(A) Labor troubles, through economic conditions and
political conditions. Hence heads of labor departments must
be interested in the manufacturing end. Not necessarily
individuals, save as they themselves work to that end.
That is, as individuals apply their efforts to increase the
possibilities and the production as is put on market, they
should share in that they have invested in same, whether
effort or money. Make it both.
(Q) Give detailed information as to what is to be understood
from representation in foreign fields.
(A) Representation in foreign fields, as those who would be
the employed, help, as to those who would furnish or would
be interested in installing their machines. These come then
from two channels. This is an excellent time for conditions,
as we have given. Those who install machinery, let them have
financial interest. These would be interested. Nottingham,
you see, where they would be interested.
(Q) Please tell us who are the ones so interested in seeing
this change made.
(A) There are several that have been approached on the
subject. These are interested in seeing the change, for
they, the ones interested, would be interested financially in
assisting this corporation to work to the end that would be
made successful. As to their names, we haven't these, for
nothing has been done as a definite undertaking, and exists
only in thought and in the imaginary forces. Many may be
interested, as we have given. Not only in local conditions
but in other places.
(Q) What would be the attitude of the people of the ... Lace
Company were this organization perfected?
(A) There would be some resentment. Then there would be the
attempt to control the output. Do not allow this, for this
would eventually lead to the breaking down, but with all
interested, the conditions as set, we need fear none of the
opposition as might be attempted, for the field is large, and
sufficient for the organizations of each. They may be worked
together, but never worked as one.

Mr. [

My dear Mr. [
2667]
I feel sure that Miss [
2497] has told you of my move to
Virginia Beach and of my attempt to establish my work here
in a way that I am in hopes I will be better able to serve
others. It certainly was a surprise but I assure you a great
pleasure to meet Miss [
2497] when I was leaving Norfolk for
Dayton on my visit of inspection a few weeks ago.
I am in hopes that you remember sometime ago that you
suggested that if I would send you the measurement for some
windows, you would be very glad to fit out some curtains and
draperies for same. At the time, it was impractical for me
to avail myself of this courtesy and opportunity, but now
as I am just starting in with the work here, I am in hopes
that I'm not asking too much when I give you the number and
sizes that I would like to have at this time. I have fifteen
windows that would require six foot curtains and draperies.
One door, six feet curtain and drapery. Two small windows,
five foot. Of course, we'd like these to match, if beggars
may be choosers.
Assuring you of my appreciation of the courtesies and favors
that have been shown me in the past by you and your good
family, and trusting I am not presuming too much when I ask
you about these, and hoping that I may be of service to you
or to any of your family in my new location and regular work,
and making to be remembered to all, with kindest personal
regards, I am

Chicago, Ill.
Mr. Edgar Cayce
35th. Street.
Virginia Beach, Virginia
Dear Mr. Cayce:
No doubt you will be surprised to hear from me again. I saw
our friend Mr. Dave Kahn, yesterday, and he spoke of you to
us, and that he had seen you recently. Dave is here for the
furniture market which meets here twice a year.
I would like to have you give me a life reading, quote
birthdate and year and place. I haven't the correct date of
my birth. My mother told me when I was about ten years old
that she thought that it was about November 2nd. either 1877
or 1878.
In my reading will you also make special reference to my
affairs as to the organization of my proposed business.
QUESTIONS.
(1) Who shall I ask to join me in my proposed business?
(2) Will there be any difficulty in forming a company to
finance a business of my own?
(3) How shall I proceed?
(4) What shall the name of the firm be?
(5) Will you please tell me what the year 1926 has in store
for me?
(6) Will it be necessary for me to sail for Europe in order
to purchase machinery and in order to engage help?
Would you let me have this reading as soon as possible, as
David is anxious to see it before he leaves town.
Trusting that this finds you and yours in good health. Mrs.
[
4376], [
2497], [...] all join me and wish to be remembered
to you,
Very sincerely, [
2667]
