1/22/21 W. D. Gillett's letter:
To Whom It May Concern:
This is to certify that I obtained the assistance of
Edgar Cayce in the development of the well I drilled on
the J. I. Sturkie farm in the Asa Hoxey [... (?)], Comanche
Co., Tex.
I have had 34 years experience in the oil business, having
followed same from Pennsylvania & West Virginia to Texas;
where I have been operating for the last three years; have
made a study of the oil business from a structural
standpoint in all fields in which I have been interested,
have a system for locating oil which is far superior to
systems followed by most oil men; yet I believe Mr. Cayce
can beat any system going, in locating oil; and he also tells
one where they will find the water stratas which is very
valuable information in setting casing and especially on
wildcat wells:
The best geologists in the country can not approach
Mr. Cayce when it comes to giving advanced information on
oil territory; Mr. Cayce told me conditions concerning my
well, by wire which were proved afterwards by the drill:
I consider Mr. Cayce a real wonder and any one very
fortunate who can secure his advance dope on drilling wells.
