4/19/44 EC's letter to HLC [overseas]:
Some weeks ago I had two letters from two of the ... of the
... school. One of them was Dr. [
3602], the ... of Dental
Surgery. He had suddenly lost control of the use of his
fore-finger on his right hand. They could find no cause
or reason for it. At the same time I had a letter from Dr.
[...], who is one of the Deans in ..., asking me if I would
undertake the reading. We did it, and a few days ago,
unannounced, Dr. [
3602] and Dr. [...] both walked in. It
turned out that Dr. [...] was a very, very close friend of
Dr. Munsterburg, and when he read the book, as he said, it
was of very much interest. As you recall, there was some
question raised by Miss Munsterburg as to whether her father
was ever to see me in Hopkinsville or not. Dr. [...] told
me of talking with Miss Munsterburg about this, and that
he assured her he knew her father had been there and
he had talked with him, and besides no one in the world
could possibly have given a description of the activity of
Dr. Munsterburg, without having known or experienced the
meeting with him. He knew him too well.
About Dr. [
3602]. He told me that the reading for Dr. [
3602]
was excellent, in fact, a perfect analysis of the conditions.
How I arrived at it, he didn't know and it didn't make any
difference, if the suggestions would do any good. It was
suggested for him to use the radio active, with a massage and
a little internal medicine very near akin to the same thing
he had given him. He said he would have to say, while the
diagnosis and suggestions weren't orthodox medicine, the
results that he was obtaining were certainly all anyone could
ask for, which is of course what we are working for. They
of course went to see the records, and as he told me, "Now
if you want these records to get to people for the most good,
just set your price and [...] will pay it, but of course we
are like every other organization in a research work, we want
to keep them, and we had rather have it when you are through.
I assure you [...] will take them when it is put together
like this is. I told him I had nothing to do with that, that
it was up to you and Edgar Evans; that when I was through you
could do what you pleased with it. Maybe we are not foolish
in going to so much trouble.
Of course we have had to buy five or six new files and
are going to have to buy some more pretty soon. Yes, of
course they are keeping the names of everyone we hear from.
Wherever there are copy letters, we are keeping those also.
Where they are written form letters, and no copy kept, we are
keeping the names and addresses. They change very rapidly,
for the number of bulletins mailed out on membership now is
something over 2,000 and that's a right smart growth from the
last time you mailed them out I think. That's outside of the
active membership and the sponsors for the research work.
Now about the publications. We have had to print the Cayce
booklet again, and had 10,000 copies printed. This was done
by some man in Norfolk. We have had the Essenes printed;
also Meditation. We are having an article that Millicent
Horton wrote on Ra-Ta. No names are used except the ones
given in the reading, and my own. I think this will be a
very good booklet for certain people, as well as certain
others that may be written. Harmon has been giving most
of his time to writing the Bulletin and the weekly letter.
The weekly letter, of course has caused more comment than
anything we have ever done. As many people say, it is just
enough for one to get what's going on, and not so much as to
not have time to read it. Practically every person seems to
be very enthusiastic about it.
4/27/44 EC's letter to Edgar Evans Cayce [overseas]:
Then there were the two professors who came from ... a
few days ago, unannounced. Dr. [
3602], the ... of Dental
Surgery, had had a reading, and Dr. [...], one of the Deans
of ..., had written me asking for a reading for Dr. [
3602],
if possible. When they came in, during the discussion,
Dr. [...] said to me, "Well, of course it is not orthodox
medicine that you are giving, but the analysis of the
condition was perfect. If you had been an extraordinarily
good anatomist, you might have been able to sit down and
figure it out from the questions we asked, but without
the man being present you couldn't do it, unless there was
some supernatural means. Be that as it may, the results that
he is getting from following the suggestions so far are all
and more than we could ask for, and that is the real proof."
When we went in to get the reading that had been made, they
looked at the files. He looked at several of the folders and
said, "Well Mr. Cayce, if you ever want to sell these reports
you can set your own price, anything within five figures.
They are kept the way they should be and no one can question
that. Of course we would like to have the complete report,
for doubtless you will work on for several years." I said,
"No they are not for sale. I don't know what will ever
be done with them, but they are the only thing I will have
to leave my two boys; they can do what they please with
them; give them away or anything else." It is at least
interesting, isn't it?

Mr. Edgar Cayce
Artic Circle
Virginia Beach, Virginia
Dear Mr. Cayce:
I know you are interested in a report from me as to how I am
getting along under the treatment suggested by you.
I have very consciously carried out all of your instructions,
even going so far as to purchase a second Radio-Appliance
to have when I was in the country week-ends. I have also
carried out the massage, and in fact everything that was
suggested, but I still fail to see any change for the better
in the coordination of my fingers. Every other way I feel
splendidly.
I don't suppose there is anything else that you could suggest
other than what you have, but I did want you to know that I
have cooperated in every way and am sorry indeed to have to
report no progress.
Sincerely yours [
3602]
7/08/44 EC's letter:
Dr. [
3602]
..., Mass.
Dear Dr. [
3602]
I have yours of the 15th and hope you will pardon me for not
replying much sooner.
We have been through our annual Congress and have had quite
an enormous crowd for our facilities, and trying to handle
same has kept us so busy that we haven't had the opportunity
to keep up with the correspondence as we should.
I trust that I may be able to make an appointment for a
check-up sometime within the next few months so we can see if
the information has anything further to offer. I would like
to do this if you agree. Let me know about this and about
what time would be most convenient for you. We are quite
busy and are a year in advance with appointments, but want
to work in these check-readings when possible.
Thanks and with every good wish, I remain
Sincerely, Edgar Cayce EC/gm

Miss Gladys Davis
c/o Mr. Edgar Cayce
Virginia Beach, Virginia
My dear Miss Davis:
I am going to write you quite a long letter and I hope you
will have the patience to read it through. I have just
received your note and appointment for a check-reading for
December 13th, 1944. I don't know whether you remember that
Dr. [...] and I called on Mr. Cayce in May and I think I met
you at that time and chatted with you while we were waiting
for Mr. Cayce.
I wrote you in July hoping I would be able to get some
suggestions that I might be using during my vacation period,
but did not receive this letter until September 5th. I
carried out the battery treatments faithfully for one hour
every day for eight weeks, but upon my return to the office
today I found things about the same as when I went away, if
not a little worse.
Now I am facing a very heavy appointment list and I am just
up against it to know what to do. At the time of my visit to
Mr. Cayce I remember he said a check-reading did not require
much time, and I wondered if you could not help me out by
getting an immediate one for me.
I know this is asking an awful lot of you, but it may be the
means of enabling me to go on with my work and my service to
a great many people. Otherwise, I am afraid I will have to
make up my mind to give up and that seems such a pity when
there is so much need for my work, and physically, I am so
well able to do it.
I do hope, Miss Davis, you will understand my problem and do
something for me before I have given up. Would it be asking
too much to have you reply to this letter by air mail as I am
so anxious to know what to do.
Please give my best regards to Mr. Cayce and tell him that
I hope his health will be improved. Both Dr. [...] and I
enjoyed our visit with him and I certainly came away with
the feeling that I would be helped.
Sincerely yours [
3602]
10/03/44 GD's letter:
Dr. [
3602]
..., Mass.
Dear Dr. [
3602]
It has been several weeks since Mr. Cayce has been able to
keep any appointments made for readings. Consequently, we
are not able to give you any assurance that he can give you
the check physical reading on December 13th, though we are
hoping and praying that he will long before that time he will
at least be able to give readings for the more serious cases,
the appointments for which have already been made.
Strangely enough, Mr. Cayce is afflicted with a condition
similar to yours; that is, his left arm from the elbow down
is absolutely useless. It is not the result of a stroke but
from complete nerve exhaustion. He has forced himself beyond
his strength and, therefore, it will take time, patience and
persistence to build back that reserve energy which has been
used.
I certainly hope that we will be able to get your reading on
December 13th. In the meantime, I suggest that you get in
touch with Dr. C. R. Wakeling, 220 Clarendon St., Boston, who
is somewhat familiar with our work and may be able to help
you.
After following the treatment recommended in his own reading
over a period of two months, Mr. Cayce is just now beginning
to show response. I can't understand why you have not been
able to see some improvement, but perhaps Dr. Wakeling can go
over your readings and find out just what the trouble is.
With very best wishes, I am
Sincerely, [signed] Gladys Davis Sec'ty

3602]'s letter:
Miss Gladys Davis, Secretary
Association for Research & Enlightment
Virginia Beach, Virginia
My dear Miss Davis:
I received your letter of October 3rd and in it you asked me
to write to you two or three weeks before the time assigned
for my physical reading, which was December 13th.
I suppose Mr. Cayce is probably not yet able to give
readings, but I thought I would do as you asked and tell
you that at that time I expect to be at ..., Massachusetts.
I am still having the same difficulty only more so and I
think, were it not for the hope that I might get something
from this coming reading, I would be tempted to give up.
However, I will endeavor to carry on, if I can, until such
time as Mr. Cayce is able to arrange the reading.
I am sorry he is having such a wretched time and hope he soon
improves. Would it be asking too much of you to drop me a
line and let me know what the prospect is as I really am in
desperate shape.
Yours sincerely [
3602]
12/10/47 See Mr. [
3597]'s letter in
3597-1 Reports, stating
that he talked to Dr. [
3602] and felt that their conditions
were somewhat similar; that is, psychological, or "dis-ease."
