Dear Mr. Cayce:
On March 11th I acknowledged Miss Gladys Davis' letter
of March 3, relative to your reference and warning about
the horse with the white spot on his back, given in your
reading for me.
I felt much better about the double warning after reading her
letter. But still it's past my understanding to reconcile
the fact, that I was a breeder of horses in Egypt, and am
warned against, as Miss Davis says, "Perhaps you just need to
be careful of anything pertaining to horses, whether riding
them, etc., etc."
Answer #2 in your reading is favorable to me continuing my
old business that of shows etc., which of course are all
horses. Your Answer #3 is of course along the same line,
and confirms the previous answer.
You will understand, that nothing I say, must be construed
as a criticism of Miss Davis' letter. I am trying my best
to interpret your reading correctly.
I have repeatedly read and read and will continue to read and
study all that you have sent me in the way of bulletins etc.
and so far I feel there is a brick wall between me and all
knowledge of good that you teach and that I try to absorb
within myself. I am doing my best to correct my way of
thinking which for years has been rotten. I am going right
on trying, and have a realization that with all the wrong
thoughts I have been harboring I can't just shuck them like
a coat.
You are the only person whom I have contacted in my 63 years
of life who has through such contact with me, made me feel
that when I am offering material aid to God's cause, it was
being done from the heart, and with a spirit of warmth and
gratitude. That is the way I am giving you this $100.00.
I feel sure its being done in the right spirit. You will
use it as you see fit, I have no suggestions to make nor
requests.
And by the way, all the horses with white spots on their
backs can run and jump in the lake as far as we are
concerned, I am not going to ask any more questions of
you and your organization you have too many more
important things to do.
My health is practically sound again and soon I will have to
get actively to work on ways and means of making a dollar,
after a years vacation, so to speak.
Very best wishes to you all, Sincerely [

Dear Mr. [
3663]
I am in receipt of yours of the 23rd, in which you enclosed a
check as contribution to the work here.
We appreciate this very much, and without our friends
remembering us like this, it would be mighty hard to
get along with the research department of the work.
I am in hopes the little data that we are able to send you,
as a member of this group, will prove to be as helpful to you
as so many say it has been for them.
I wish I had an opportunity to sit down and talk with you
about your reading. If there are any special questions about
it that you would like for me to try and explain to you, I
would be very glad to try and do it. I don't know what Miss
Davis wrote you, but her experience should qualify her to be
able to give you a pretty good outline. You will probably
get more out of it by reading it over once in a while
yourself, for you grow in the understanding of what it is
trying to say, as you try to piece it together and make it
right, and I hope that you do.
Thanks again and again, and with every good wish, I remain
Sincerely, Edgar Cayce [EC/gm]
6/20/44 Letter: "...Some of the communications, I
have received from you have said it is of value to your
institution to have those who have had life readings report
to you what progress has been made. Looking back in my file
you can see that I was in a very bad frame of mind and just
plain not headed in the right direction at all, when I first
contacted you. One of the questions in my life reading was
whether I should continue in the rodeo business in which I
had been so successful, for many years. You said, "It is
well" - if you are in the right frame of mind and treat your
associates as you should." A month ago I decided to come
east from ... On leaving home a friend told me to enquire
about a rodeo that it appeared the Firemen in ... wanted to
put on for the benefit of their "old age pension fund"...
I came here June first and was cordially received by the
director of the fire department. I was a total stranger to
him... He said he wanted the best rodeo in the U.S. When
he found it he would recommend it to the Fireman's Pension
Fund Board. The deal is that the Firemen pay all expenses
and that at the conclusion of the show they take 50% of the
profit and we take 50%... In one meeting it came up that
they as well as the police had always before taken 40% and
given the show producer 60%. I said nothing when I heard it,
but had a strong feeling that after treating them generously
about extra expense and going on a
50-50 basis with them -
that the fairest kind of treatment from us to their worthy
charity could not in any way hurt us. In other words, as one
of your pupils, I am more and more convinced that in treating
the other fellow as is called sometimes "too well," I am
bringing blessing on myself... I know you are very busy, but
I know, too, that you are very interested. I want to do
what's right on the ticket prices - not overcharge the
public... My wife and I have prayed that we have God's
guidance as there is nothing other than that, that can make
us to do the right we want to do. Do you think I should have
a reading on this?..."

Mr. [
3663]
..., Missouri
Dear Mr. [
3663]:
I have yours of the 20th. We are a little bit late in
replying because, as you know, we have had a very busy two
weeks or more here as our Congress has been on and we have
had people from most every part of the country. Even under
the trying circumstances of trying to get reservations, we
have gone ahead and had our meetings. We had a nice crowd
and very good meetings.
I am most interested in your telling of your work with the
good people of ..., especially with the Fireman Pension Fund
and the Board. I don't know of any real comment that I could
make, Mr. [
3663], other than, as I am sure you will find, the
way that you treat others is the way you will be treated by
others. I understand that there is at times a great deal of
difference in this matter. Many people get the idea that
they have been mistreated by others, but I think if they
would search their souls they would find it was the same
attitude they had - if they hadn't done anything they had
been wanting to do it deep down within themselves and were
just afraid and left themselves open to be done by someone
else.
I am sure that you are going to make good. I will be anxious
to know how everything works along. But I am very sure that
so long as you keep the attitude as you indicate here, you
not only will have success, but you will make friends. If I
recall it properly, if you will turn to Joshua, the first
Chapter and the eighth verse, and read, you see what is
required of an individual if they expect to make a success or
to be counted worthy in His eyes. I don't know any better
way to commend you than to say just so long as you keep those
things in mind, don't be afraid.
With every good wish and thanking you for your report, I am
Sincerely, Edgar Cayce [EC/wi]
