TEXT

1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time. You will diagnose the case thoroughly, giving the cause of the existing conditions; also the treatment for the cure and relief of this body.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here.
3. Now, we find there are those conditions in the physical forces of the body that cause distress in a mental and physical way and manner, and these may be corrected - yet, would these bring the better conditions to the body, the mental attitude towards others would of necessity be corrected first.
4. Condemn not others! Neither condemn self, for these are not in accord with those conditions that would bring either a physical or a mental condition that would be well pleasing, or MERITING a normal functioning, even in this MATERIAL world.
5. In the physical forces we find there are specific conditions that need correcting - yet, as given, these will not give to the system that necessary vital force as will bring to the body the best physical condition until the mental forces are such that the Creative Energy does not poison the body - for Mind is the Builder, and until there can be some conception of the constructive nature in the mental and physical reaction, there is the continual warring between the mental and the spiritual attributes of a physical body, and especially is this true in THIS body, as we find same here.
6. The better condition to be met in the body at the present time would be attained through the study of those precepts as are found in that called Unity, or Christian Science, and ONLY with the full awakening of the necessity of the body creating a constructive force - and bringing those of the positive rather than the negative forces for the body - will the body REMAIN in an easy or a constructive way and manner.
7. The corrections as may be attained will of necessity be of the mechanical nature. However, with the proper study of science and health, or by the proper coordinating with vibrations as are set from the study of Unity, and of physical exercise night and morning - consistent and persistent, with a gentle massage after each exercise - which would be of the setting-up nature - with cold rub down along the spine - we would find the body will respond in the physical way and manner, and the mental conditions of the body become so adjusted and attuned to those conditions that are to be met from day to day as to bring to the body those of the better conditions in the physical life.
8. DO that! Study to show thyself approved unto Him, for in Him is the light, and in Him is health, strength, and endurance, and the peace that passeth all understanding rest and abide with you!
9. We are through.

   Dear Sir
   Enclosed find money order for the three dollars which I realize a small sum. I am sorry I cannot offer you more, due to my present conditions, but will not forget when conditions are better with me.
   I have not been well for twenty years, that's when gave birth to a daughter, luck went against me no matter what I tried I failed. Went in business twice and lost fourteen hundred dollars. My life is nothing but pain debts and misery. When I just get out hospital either my husband or the girl get sick or lose a job its just terrible. I met with an accident fourteen years ago and went through four operations. The last one was eleven months ago and I was deciding nine months of pain laying on bed most of the time until one day I got a hemorrhage, then I knew I had to go. I was terribly sick tumor grown on my back lunged (?) in the bladder pain oh how terrible.
   I am having pains and bladder as yet doctors says it will be better but I see nothing but pain and doctor bills in my life my last operation with hospital bill was 650.00 dollars and I still owe 300.00 dollars to the doctors and have lots of others little debts to pay. Oh will I ever get through paying and when I was head ways a few dollars, something turns up and I lose again all my money goes.
   Now Mr. Cayce I am trusting that you will help me I have tried almost everything in the world to have health and luck and I sure throw my faith in you, for if I did not have faith I know I would not live today I am trusting you again please help me.
   Sincerely yours, [4627] Chicago, Ill.
   Find a few questions in separate paper [below]. Will I get over my nervousness? Will I succeed in the affair I am running in April 27? Should I play cards for money or play on raffles or bingo? Will I ever feel as though I am well? Will I ever pay what I owe and make head ways? Should I go to live in my sister (oldest) home. Are my sister just jealous of me or are they willing to help? Is my mother in law wishing me this luck? Should I move this fall?

   REMARKS
   (You will please state in the space below how near, in your opinion, reading fits your condition, as you know it yourself, and if you expect to carry out the suggestions made for the improvement of your health.)
   About improvement of health I would do anything to be well. But I do not understand my reading at all for there is not a thing wrong with my mind and I have a strong will power only I worry very much and my physical conditions are terrible. I haven't any female organs left in me and I am very tired at all times. So I would beg to have another reading as soon as possible. And I got no reply on my questions I asked. Hoping to hear from you in the nearest future, I remain Mrs. [4627]
2. 4/26/27 EC's letter:
   Mrs. [4627] Chicago, Ill.
   Dear Mrs. [4627]
   I have your report. I'm very sorry to know you are disappointed in the information given. We shall be very glad to make another appointment for a reading, though it will be necessary for us to make this several weeks ahead, and that you are strong minded, will you not agree to carry out the suggestions given from now until that time. I believe, if you will follow these suggestions - though they may seem very foolish - you will really be surprised at how much good you will be able to gain from same. Try that! Then let us know about whether you want the other reading, and whether you will do that, for it's only in doing what the reading says that you gain any results. The information itself isn't worth anything unless it's applied. Only in application do the results come.
   Hoping that we may be of service, I am
   Sincerely, Edgar Cayce EC:GD
