7/01/44 He submitted these questions:
You will have before you the life existence in the earth
plane of [
3178] born September 20, 1896, in Potsdam, New
York, and the earthly existence of this entity as Charles
Carroll, a signer of the American Declaration of
Independence. You will give a biographical life of the
entity in that day and plane of earthly existence, from
entrance and how into the earth's plane, and the entity's
departure, giving the development or retarding points in such
an existence. You will answer the questions he submits, as I
ask them, concerning the associations and urges from that
period and other incarnations having an effect in the present
life:
1. Under what circumstances was I associated with my wife,
[
3054] in my last life?
2. Explain more about my last three incarnations coming on
the 20th of September, particularly as it is the cusp between
Virgo and Libra. (I do not feel that I have been able to
figure out from Numerology, as suggested, why three
incarnations on the same date would be indicated.)
3. Explain why my Life Rdg. indicated that I was the "last to
sign the Declaration of Independence" when available records
fail to show it.
4. Where can I find something definite about my incarnation
as Duem Markel? Was that my name in the English period?
What period in history was that?
5. Since I was a signer of the Declaration of Independence
the last time, is it indicated that I will in my present
incarnation play a definite part in Government?
6. Have any of the other "Signers" incarnated, and if so, can
you tell me who they are and where to find them, and whether
we are to be known to each other in this life?
7. Am I in this life following out the Pattern of my life,
however blindly it may seem to me now?
REPORTS
7/24/44 EC's ltr. to [
3178]:
Dear Mr. [
3178]
We attempted to get your check-life reading on the American
Revolutionary period and only the [enclosed] information was
given.
Possibly, after you have followed through with this
suggestion, we might try to get this period for you. The
indication seems to be that it shouldn't be for some time
yet.
I do plan to take a rest, but do not know when I will get to
Washington.
Thanking you for your patience and cooperation and hoping to
be of further service, I am
Sincerely, Edgar Cayce

11/06/46 Wife's letter to HLC: "My husband and I want to
thank you for giving so much time to us in going over his
Life Reading. We both feel that much was accomplished in
those two hours. We shall keep you informed as to the
progress made. After we left you, we drove over to Baltimore
and went over some papers in the Maryland Historical Society.
Just a little was new, but it will reveal itself bit by bit,
and in following out in the peculiar way that presents itself
what the reading has shown... I have a great many contacts,
and loads of books which I have studied. I am speaking of
both of us, for [
3178] and I most often do things
together..."
7/16/47 Dear Austin [Rice] (A.R.E. Searchlight Editor):
...Will you keep an eye open for any references to the life
between earthly incarnations, for, surely that period of our
lives must be highly important too... See what you can find
along this line to satisfy a groping soul, will you Austin,
and WE will give YOU the chocolates this time!
