6/29/25 Wife's letter to EC:
The ... House
On the road to ..., Maryland
Dear Mr. Cayce:
I received your telegram on Saturday, and the letter this
morning. I thank you indeed for the advice... I am
wondering how I shall put it into execution. Mr. [
3714] is
difficult - to handle. His right arm has been giving him
intense pain, but he won't listen to going to an osteopath.
He is a very positive sort...and sometimes it seems as tho he
is under some "influence" that is beyond my reach. These
moods last sometimes for six weeks...and sometimes they are
gone in half that time. They seem to grow more violent...but
there isn't a thing I can do, but to try to be gentle and
patient.
I am thinking a great deal about you, these days. I am
positive that I must do something about this house...for I
cannot keep on doing without any money... Mr. [
3714] has the
most impossible mental attitude about the entire thing. The
farm, and house...and everything is mine, bought years before
I knew Mr. [
3714] but he insists everything is his. He keeps
every cent that comes in, in his bank account...checking
it out - and buying the supplies...which is alright from
his stand point. But - I haven't a cent.
I am trying to find a way to sell the place to a corporation,
and to continue to run it...of course on a salary. I want
to build a 20 room "rest house" for men only. At a flat rate
of ten dollars a day, this would pay well. The Justices of
the Supreme Court, the members of the Cabinet, the biggest
Senators and Members, and the many prominent Professional men
of Washington, would keep it filled and - it would do a lot
of good. The new Southern Maryland Highway comes within half
a mile of this place...which means all the year round, good
roads. I have lately found a most wonderful woman, Dr.
Brosenne. She was first a trained nurse, then - studied
Chiropractor method. Then, she added her own idea of
"cupping"...and in this way, she reached deep circulation.
There is a white sulphur spring on this place, and I can see
how wonderful it would be to have besides the rest house,
a "Cure House"...using her to give the treatments. If Your
Institute could be here, too...I am thinking a great deal of
good could be done.
It would take a great deal of money...but I can see how it
would pay well, too. I have an Estate, house of 24 rooms,
and a business with a reputation second to none. It ought
to be possible to capitalize this business...of course
incorporating it...and by developing the many sides to this
business, enough money would be earned to pay the interest
and much more...on the amount of the capitalization.
Let me hear what you think about it.
I want to thank you for your kindness to me. I shall receive
some money in a few days for a hanging which I sold...and
then I will send you something to cover my share of your
overhead. I am in deep waters, these days...but I KNOW God's
Will must be done... I am very certain that I shall be led
to do whatever is the Thing.
Again thanking you, with deep appreciation for your
friendliness, I am...always faithfully your friend,
Mrs. [...]
7/14/25 EC's letter to [
3714]'s wife:
Mrs. [...]
..., Maryland
My dear Mrs. [...]
Glad to have yours of the 29th, certainly hope that you have
succeeded in persuading Mr. [
3714] to do something towards
the improvement of his physical condition.
I read with a great deal of interest what you say regarding
the possibilities of the work on your properties. However,
I am not in any position just at the present time to make
any arrangements for a place of this kind. I have been in
hopes from time to time to be able to make a deal whereby I
could control at least sufficient of this world's goods to
establish a place of that kind. Just as yet, I'm not able to
do so. I had thought that I would be in Washington and would
have seen you before this. It seems now it will be at least
thirty days yet before I'll be able to make this trip. I'm
trusting I shall be able at that time to make arrangements
for some definite location. It is depending, however, on
the outcome of some deals that we have in the making at the
present time. I shall certainly be very glad, if it is at
all possible for me to do this, to see you and talk with you
concerning your properties, and consider same before making a
permanent location. I'm sure if it was possible to have an
organization along the lines you suggest, it could be made
very profitable. However, I believe the institution that
I hope to have will be more of an educational, with the
assistance of every means of giving physical relief added
to same. I'm certainly trusting that I shall have the
opportunity to go over all these things with you in person
and I'm very much in hopes that things are a great deal
better for you than when you wrote me sometime ago.
Assuring you of my desire to be of help if at all possible,
Sincerely, Edgar Cayce [EC:GD]

ASSOCIATION OF NATIONAL INVESTIGATORS
(THIS FORM TO BE FILLED OUT AND RETURNED ONE MONTH LATER)
NAME: [
3714]
ADDRESS: Maryland
Kindly advise us in the space below if you have followed all,
or any part, of the suggestions given in your reading of June
27, 1925, and give us in detail the exact results you have
obtained:
Mr. [
3714] refused to go to an Osteopathic practitioner, but
for one treatment. His condition seems changed only so far
as his moods are concerned. At times he is rational, but
compared to his mental condition of some five years past, he
is much worse. He seems filled with acid thoughts, and of
everyone in his life-path, I seem to be the most despised
person. His dislike of me is too great for me to bear
any longer, and I have begun my arrangements to go away,
permanently. At least as long as he is alive. My daughter
will remain here, and it is better that I go, and he remain,
for he couldn't support himself as he has no education at
all. I can always be addressed here. The symptoms given
in your diagnosis were everyone correct.
