retired member of the British Diplomatic Service (i.e.
Foreign Service) and I had the honour to be stationed as the
Representative of the Crown and of the British Government,
as H.M.'s Consul at New Orleans, La., during the years 1942
to 1946. While I was there it was my great good fortune to
learn about Edgar Cayce, as did also my predecessor, David
Rodgers, who left in 1942 to go as British Ambassador to
Mexico. Both of us had Health Readings from Edgar Cayce,
and I think David Rodgers was fortunate also to get a Life
Reading, which I did not. My Health Readings was ... given
on October 12, 1943 and, as I type these words I realize -
TO MY VAST ASTONISHMENT - that it has been precisely FIFTY
YEARS AGO to this very day! I have had many experiences
that have made me feel that I have not lost contact with
Edgar Cayce, but this one - the date on which I am now
contacting you is truly astounding.
...I read the book, THERE IS A RIVER, even before I got my
Health Reading (which, I forgot to mention, did a great deal
to speed my recovery after I had contracted Asian Typhus
aboard a ship coming across the Pacific to the USA in 1942).
I believe David Rodgers and I were the only British people
ever to have received Readings. Am I correct? [JT's note:
No.] I am nearly 86 years old. (Born on April 26, 1908)
