6/17/43 Mother's letter [unedited as written]:
Dear Mr. Cayce
I have received your statement of the reading for my daughter
[
3035]. Please forgive me for bothering you again but I want
to know a few facts if possible about [
3035]'s illness. I
will state here about her illness. [
3035] was an average
girl going to school intelligent healthy but not very strong
tired too easily but as I'm not a husky mother I didn't
pay much attention she graduated in 1941 got a job in a
dairy soda fountain she got sick in Aug. very severe pain
in stomach had the Dr. and he said it was nothing but
emotional. She lost weight but started to work again and in
1942 she planned to go to train to be a nurse which she had
her heart set on she took a xray of her chest which was
required and they said she had spot on her lung for her to
go for a rest which she did for 9 months to a state Sant.
she came home April 15 looking very good gained weight but I
noticed that she didn't like to go out she was so sensitive
about her being in a Sant. she wasn't stronger either had
very few friends kept too much to herself. I wanted her to
be happy and well above all else on May 15 she got very sick
with very high temperature. I called the Dr. He told me its
just grippe nothing to worry about she'll be alright in few
days. Well she kept getting worse instead of better which
got me greatly worried. We had a specialist for her. He
wants her to go back to the Sant. She feels very badly about
it crys and upsets her self very much. I don't know what to
do. I ordered the artichoke or Medicine you wrote me about
but didn't receive it yet. I believe strongly that it will
help [
3035] very much. Should I let her go to a Sant. or
should I keep her and nurse here at home? I don't know if it
will be possible to give her the Med. in the hospital. Mr.
Cayce in your reading did my [
3035] have T.B. that is in my
mind.
Please write me and tell me what is best to do. I am so
confused that I don't know what to do last. Thur. she took
for the worse her Temperature goes up and down and its that
way day after day no better she refuse[s] food of any kind
that I am almost beside my self trying to [do] my best for
her my one thought is for her and her health. Please Mr.
Cayce forgive me for bothering you but if possible won't you
help me to win [
3035]'s health back to her and I will be so
grateful.
yours Truly
..., Pa.
P.S. Please send the book There is a River by C.O.D.

Mrs. [...]
..., Pa.
Dear Mrs. [...]
I have yours of the seventeenth and note what you have to say
about your daughter. I am in hopes that before this you have
been able to get those things suggested for her, and that you
will follow them along thoroughly. Apparently, that's the
inclination, but I believe this will help. You will have
to get her out of that habit of condemning self if she ever
hopes to get well. Do let me hear from you and know that you
are never bothering me if I can be of any help.
We are sending a folder about the book, THERE IS A RIVER.
Please order direct from Holt.
Yours sincerely, Edgar Cayce EC:LM
