2/31 Letter: "...I have been thinking about you all the
time. If I am not mistaken, the meeting is to be the 28th,
Saturday, and you can know that I have been thinking and
praying that everything would work out for the best, and that
the wonderful work that was being done would be continued. I
just can't help but believe that everything will come out
alright, for that hospital was such a wonderful place to me.
"Now blessing Mrs. Cayce, I do wish after Mr. Cayce gets
back that you would come with him and stay here until he has
time to forget all about his disappointments for a while, and
see if he won't feel better. We would be delighted to have
both of you, and just come on and stay as long as you can.
Honest, I feel like a change would help both of you, and you
know that I love you, and would be delighted to have you.
You know I have had some experience with this disappointment
business, and I know exactly what it means. Anybody that
hasn't had something like that to go through, just can't
imagine what it means to see the ones that you have learned
to love and respect to turn right around and be the opposite,
it really does hurt, and more than we can ever know. But I
want both of you to know that I can sympathize with you, for
I know how it hurts, and it is so hard on the physical
condition, and all of that makes it mighty hard to overcome,
but I just know doing the kind of work and good that you all
were doing, that everything is going to come out like it
should..."
3/09/31 EC's letter: "...I suppose the greater part of the
public will look on the fact that the hospital has closed
that it's been a failure on my part. I surely feel entirely
different, those that know the circumstances will feel so
too. Just what is to be the outcome of the institution, I
do not know. That one possibly may not have anything more
to do with, or the time might come when it will opened and
functioning in the proper way. I hope I will be able to keep
on with the work. It is surprising to me now how many
friends are apparently rallying to my support in everyway you
can imagine. I really must have been of help to some..."
3/13/31 Letter: "...Now don't you get it into your head for
one single minute that anybody has the idea that the hospital
has failed, or that it had anything to do with you, for it
wasn't that at all, at least that is the way I feel about it.
Business conditions all over the country are awful, and it
just happened that Virginia Beach had to suffer as well as
other parts of the country, it wasn't you at all. I
certainly would like to see things pick up here, for there is
plenty of room for improvement. Nearly all of the places of
business have cut salaries, and in lots of places the force
has also been cut..."
4/04/31 EC's letter: "...Nothing particularly of interest to
tell you, except that we had a VERY enthusiastic meeting last
Saturday. It's really a joy and pleasure to know there are
so many people, in so many parts of this country, that feel
the work manifested through me has meant and does mean so
much to them and their loved ones. There were people here
who contacted the work years ago, and others who have only
known of it a short while - but ALL expressed themselves very
much in the same way and manner. This was a meeting rather
to determine as to whether it should go on. How and the
where fores will be taken up late. If our purposes and aims
are right, and if it is God's work - I am very sure it WILL
go ahead.
"Nothing would suit me better personally than to be able
to visit with you all a while, and I know it would suit
Gertrude - but too much work to be done, too little money in
sight to do it with. Some of these days, though, we will
make that trip..."
