9/26/44 [
3471]'s letter to EC:
"I suppose the little notice in the Bulletin I received
yesterday means that my appointment for a reading, September
15, was cancelled.
"I was depending so completely upon the advice I was to get
from it that I hardly know what to do or where to turn.
"I have been holding on at this work trying to wait for it.
The production requirements have been made so stiff and they
hold 'demotion' and 'no promotions' over us as whips, as they
are trying to 'freeze out' we older workers and get in 'new
blood' as the head of our section phrases it. I have derived
so much help from the physical check ups that I was resting
on the thought of help in my other problems.
"If that means it is cancelled and I am not to receive it at
all, please tell me or if I am to receive it at some later
date, please give me definite information as to what or when.
The nerve strain of not knowing definitely wears on me. I am
enclosing an airmail stamped addressed envelope and I would
appreciate deeply hearing as soon as you possibly can tell
me.
"My health is already improving more under the treatment you
gave me than it had in four years of treatments from
different doctors. I seemed to be slowly and painfully dying
until you helped me.
"If I am not to have the reading I am going to try to find
other work. I may be dismissed after the emergency and
thought I should know what to do. I seem to be where I can
hardly judge what to do..."
10/15/44 [
3471]'s letter to EC:
"Thank you for the letter and check enclosed. I am surely
sorry about your ill health. It is so very discouraging to
wish to do so much good and not be able to do it. I do hope
you improve soon. I am so happy over the improvement that
has already taken place in my health. I feel as though I had
been in a dark cellar and had come up to the light.
"I surely wish to have the Life Reading when your health has
improved enough that it is possible. I know it will be a
wonderful thing. I shall keep in touch and write as
suggested. "
"I am sending for some of the booklets. Surely wish I could
help a lot but maybe I can help some as soon as I get my
doctor bills paid for the good they did NOT do me.
"Thanks so very much for the help you have given me..."
3/22/47 GD's letter to [
3471]:
"As you perhaps know from the Bulletin and Diary-Letter which
have been mailed to you regularly, I am now devoting my
entire time to securing reports on the readings and indexing
the information under subject headings.
"Not having heard from you directly since Mr. Cayce's
passing, I am writing to enquire as to your present state of
health and to ask if you will give me a complete report on
your case. This is in order that I may index your ailment
under the technical name by which it was called at the time
you secured the readings; also that we may compile the
information of a similar nature to help those who are
suffering with the same ailment. I'd appreciate your filling
out the enclosed form and giving me the last word on your
case, whether it is favorable or unfavorable - though I hope,
for your sake and the sake of others suffering similarly,
that you are entirely free of the disturbance.
"We'd love to hear from you and to have you get in touch with
other members in the Chicago area, if you'd be interested in
meeting members of a congenial group all interested in
Mr. Cayce's work - or rather in the furthering of the purpose
for which he gave his life.
"With kindest regards and hoping to hear from you soon, I
am..."

11/24/50 [
3471]'s letter to Virginia Beach:
"I meant to pay my subscription when due but was ill and paid
so much to doctors and different tests that I have been going
on a slim budget.
"I shall pay for this last year as soon as possible, which
will not be soon, and please discontinue my subscription on
due date. I can then pick it up again when my budget doesn't
show up in the red..."
11/20/74 Note from William McGarey, M.D. to E.C.F.:
"This is just a note. I've been going over the Myasthenia
Gravis file, and after studying this particular reading
[
3471-1 & 3471-2], I do not believe it is proper to list it
as Myasthenia Gravis. The individual had weakness, but that
was due to factors other than those which cause the real
honest-to-goodness Myasthenia Gravis..."
