TEXT

1. GC: If the body of Edgar Cayce is now in correct polarization with the earth to give information regarding material forces, it will now give correct and definite direction and information for locating the treasure buried at or near Kelly's Ford, Culpepper Co., Va., giving the correct number of feet from the southwest corner of the abutment to the exact location of the treasure and give some present day surface indications of the location of the treasure so that those searching for same shall not be mistaken in the location given.
2. EC: Yes, we have the treasure as has been located, or as has been given the location of, near what WAS Kelly's Ford, Culpepper County, Virginia.
3. In making the location from the abutment that was in place for temporary, and to have been permanent, ridge, we find there have been excavations, or the seeking of same, near the locations as have been made, so that present day surface indications must include some of that as HAS been excavated. In a direction that would be almost due West from the Southwest corner of the abutment, we find the excavation has come nearest to the treasure, and that to go toward the abutment from a point some ten and a half or twelve (10 1/2 or 12) feet from this corner, in a North and East direction, would be a location as has been made, above or toward abutment from the uncovered portions of the cache and logs. We would, in locating same, make a definite location with the INDICATOR; then excavate, and place or portion in SUFFICIENT amount to cover an area of six to seven (6 to 7) feet in this direction. Ready for questions.
4. (Q) Is this location 11 1/2 to 12 feet East and North from the Southwest corner of the abutment?
   (A) No! Read what HAS been given!
5. (Q) Is this location from the old excavation or from that recently excavated?
   (A) Recently excavated.
6. (Q) Direction from stump recently uncovered.
   (A) We have GIVEN specific, DEFINITE directions! Do that, or leave it alone! We are through!

REPORTS

1. 7/09/31 EC's ltr. to Dr. Snyder:
   Dr. O. H. Snyder, 612 So. 5th St., Ironton, Ohio
   Dear Dr. Snyder:-
   Just at the time your letter of June 22nd was received, we were in the midst of making some changes in our base of operations. I have moved from the 35th Street house to 105th Street and the Ocean Front. This has taken some little time.
   Regarding the operations, or locating the treasure - I don't know, but I think if you will take this matter up with Mr. Preston, and you work it out in some satisfactory way and manner, it will be the very best way to do this. As you know, my heart's desire in the work is not to find money or treasure. Although I need it mighty bad at this time, I do desire to help those that are ill, sick or afflicted in any way, mentally or physically. Please take this up directly with Mr. Preston, and then we will see what is the best thing to do about it. I'm sure you can get some conclusions that will be worth while for all concerned.
   I certainly hope that you get the matter of the leases straightened out, and that things come along in a satisfactory way and manner.
   We hope to have our first Official Meeting of the Board this week-end.
   I certainly appreciate your interest, and thank you for the suggestions you have made.
   With kindest personal regards and best wishes, I am
   Ever the same, EC:GD
2. 7/10/31 See 3812-18.
