1/05/44 Mother's letter to Edgar Cayce:
"When I wrote to you on the 27th of December, it was with the
high hope that before many days had gone by my boy, who has
been suffering for four years, might be afforded a God given
opportunity towards a solution to his illness.
"When I received your reply I felt that it was impossible for
me to wait nine to twelve months for a reading. This is an
emergency! Healthy normal children are of the essence in
this world. Further delay might result in irreparable harm.
"I turned to the friend who had given me the book by Thomas
Sugrue. She is an assistant nurse to Dr. U. Salmon, in turn,
is physician to Mr. David E. Kahn and his family. I took the
liberty of communicating with Mr. Kahn. Today my husband and
I were privileged to spend an entire afternoon with him. I
am too excited and elated to go into the details. I can only
say that we were so deeply impressed that we came away with
the need to go to you at once. We are planning to come to
Virginia Beach for the weekend of the 15th of January, if
only to meet and speak with you. We come in full faith and
with a deep determination to follow all suggestions.

2/09/44 What caused this condition? Is this condition a
product of his own body or are others of the same root
subject to it? Why doesn't he walk properly? What
impairs his speech? What makes his behavior so unruly and
unpredictable? Why is he so restless? Why the confusion in
his train of thought? Can his life be adjusted to a normal,
physical and mental one? Are the brain ventricles normal?
Are there any permanent injuries or defects in his brain or
other parts of his body? Is there any irregularity in his
brain waves? If there is such irregularity, is it due to
the same cause? Can such irregularity be eliminated and the
brain waves returned to normal rhythm? Is the medication
that he now receives proper? If so, should it be continued
indefinitely? What course should be pursued? Should he
attend the school provided for the average child? If a
special school is required, what school would you recommend?
Should any particular doctor be consulted? Should there be a
check reading, if so, how soon?
2/15/44 Added at this writing: Should anything be done about
his nasal condition?
REPORTS
3/30/50 Report by E.C.F. campaign worker, Helen Wenzel:
"Asked about reading for son. Said they hadn't made use of
it. Couldn't make head or tail of it. Said it was something
about gold solution. Emphasized that not for one moment did
she regret the reading or the experience. Felt Mr. Cayce was
most sincere and not a fake."
7/60 Notes on EPILEPSY cases from the Edgar Cayce records
made by Walter N. Pahnke, M.D. at A.R.E., Virginia Beach,
Virginia.
The following notes were taken on cases as read and are
merely the opinion of the abstractor at the time he read the
case plus the correspondence. The main value of these notes
is that they give some indication of what the exact diagnosis
in each case may or may not be.
Case [
3688]. Given in 1944. 6 1/2 year old male. This
case was classified in group 1. In this case there was a
history of convulsions since the age of 2 1/2. The reading
describes lesion in the brain center itself and not in the
lacteal duct area. The reading did not give too much hope
for improvement. There is reason to suspect that the parents
did not follow the readings at all. No follow-up.
