TEXT

1. GC: You will have before you lands in Washington County, Arkansas, near Boston Mountains, and the treasure buried there, information regarding same that you gave in a reading on April 27, 1925, and a stake on these lands, placed there by Riley Hurst, to whom you said this information should be given. Please locate this treasure in reference to the stake as placed by Riley Hurst, in a definite and concise manner, giving in literal words the message that should be sent to Hurst at this time.
2. EC: Yes, we have the treasure here as placed there some seventy odd years ago, with information as given on April 27th regarding same. Now, we find the stake as placed is near the spring that has cropped out or begun since placing of treasure, and that the opening or spring which now shows is only a decavity or a low place, with rock (cope [cone?] shape) above same. The stake as driven as thirty and one-tenth (30 1/10) yards to the South and East of the treasure. This we see, then, thirty and one-tenth (30 1/10) yards from stake North and West would come to treasure. This near where a log lies across a rock. Now below this rock we find a small dogwood tree, with a vine growing on same. This vine, however, not a clinging vine, rather bramble briar like; between this rock and the dogwood, we would find the treasure. Two hundred thousand dollars bullion, with other precious stones.
3. This wire then:
4. North and West from stake to side of hill where dogwood below projecting rock. Between rock and dogwood lies treasure. Dig there. Full information in mail at this address.

REPORTS

1. 7/06/25 [3982]'s ltr. to Dr. Riley:
   I had your letter of the 30th, also your wire from Winslow received to-day at noon. We got the reading and I'm in hopes that the mistake in not getting all the information in first message does not ball up things. I don't know as I'm sending this anywhere near the nearest Post Office or not, but I'm in hopes you will get it alright. The first message read:
   "North and West from stake to side of hill is dogwood, below projecting rock. Between rock and dogwood is location. Full information in mail Winslow."
   The second one read:
   "North and West from stake thirty and one-tenth yards."
   I'm in hopes that this got off right. They informed me at the office that they had sent the first one before I sent the second one in. Sorry that you got off so far from it. I suppose this must be due to the change in the location of the spring. I certainly wish you luck on this thing. I only wish I was there, that we might try this thing out to its fullest extent.
   Let us hear from you. You know I'll want to do all I can to be of assistance, and let's don't give it up until we're sure we've got it or it can't be found.
   With kindest personal regards,
