Miss Gladys Davis, Secretary
Association for Research & Enlightenment, Inc.
Virginia Beach, Virginia
Dear Miss Davis:
I am sending you herewith check drawn by the Bankers Trust
Company to the order of the Association for Research &
Enlightenment, Inc., for an amount of $1,100.00, which I
am happy to send to the Association as a gift.
Of this amount I would be thankful that you should take
$100.00 to pay for my membership fee. I remember that
last year I sent $100.00, and I received, during 1944,
your bulletins, readings, etc., which interested me very
much. These $100.00 I hope will cover my membership and
subscriptions.
The remaining $1000.00, as previously stated, is a gift to
the Association, but I would like it to be understood that it
is mainly at the disposal of Mr. Edgar Cayce, to be used in
any way that he wishes - in the broadest understanding of the
term.
You will notice that I am sending you a check of the Bankers
Trust to the order of the Association. This was done so that
you could cash the check immediately, if so desired by Mr.
Cayce.
For tax purposes, I would be thankful if on receipt of this
check you would be kind enough to establish a receipt, from
the Association and in my name, for the $1,100.00, and send
it back to me at my present address, ..., New York City. The
check being drawn by the Bankers Trust Company and not by me,
I feel it necessary for me to ask you this service.
Thanking you, I remain
Yours very sincerely [
3063] Encl.

3027]'s letter: "Poor Mr. [
3063] is again
suffering from sciatica in both legs - since Thanksgiving.
Hope it won't be as bad as two years ago."
12/15/44 Miss [
3027]'s letter: "Mr. [
3063]'s children were
told it [the gift] was for you and they were so pleased to
do something for the person who has helped their father so
much."
1/11/46 Letter: "When I read the book There Is a River and
later had the privilege of meeting Mr. Cayce, and discussing
occult matters with him, I felt towards Mr. Cayce a very
deep sympathy, but I know also that my knowledge of spiritual
matters was not sufficiently developed to form, to my
satisfaction, a definite opinion on the decision to follow or
not the Association for Research and Enlightenment. I have
now come to the conclusion that I prefer to abstain from the
activities of the Association..."
Note by GD: Miss [
3027], told GD that Mr. [
3063]'s reasons
for discontinuing his connection was that he felt - they both
felt it was wrong to seek information from another as people
had done through EC - the guidance should come from within,
etc."
1/19/49 Letter: "The reason why I have not continued to
follow the work of your association is that my understanding
of spiritual matters would not permit me today to do so
without being in full contradiction with my deep conviction."
5/28/51 [
3027]'s report:
"Mr. [
3063] died last September 15th after five months
of increasing weakness and sufferings due to a coronary
thrombosis he had in the first days of May. Fortunately I
was able to be with him and to take care of him during all
those painful months. He left us very peacefully during his
sleep, and happily also had not had any paralysis and was
mentally and spiritually very active to the end. Only his
body was completely used up and I knew from the first that
there was no hope of recovery. The last five years were
gradually leading to this and although he was only 63 years
old. You knew him and so you know the emptiness I find in my
life now..."
