Mr. [
4646]
..., Alabama
Dear [
4646]
I have yours of the 20th and I'm very glad to hear from you.
I do not know whether it is possible for me to go into every
phase of the work, as I should, before we would undertake
a thing of this kind, or not, unless we were where we could
talk this all over, for of course since I have been giving
my whole time to the work there have been many conditions and
circumstances that have arisen that make the work of such a
nature that it is possible for it to develop very big all of
a sudden. Then again it might be that it would drag along
considerable before such a thing could happen. I believe
the best thing to do would be for you to get on the train
and come to see me, for we have some fields that are just now
opened for us to work, and it needs the head and management
that I believe you are capable of, to make the thing work
out right. As you know, perhaps, I have disposed of my
interests in Selma. Consequently, will not be that way again
soon, unless you should feel that the field is big enough
for us to begin work in Montgomery at once, and there
make sufficient to go on to the other fields that will be
necessary for the next six months or a year. It might be
very well for us to get things set from that viewpoint and
angle; that is, from Montgomery, where we might have the
influence and the experience of your Mother's efforts. You
might talk this over with her, which no doubt you have, see
just what she thinks of it. This seems to me would be the
plan and the way that it should be worked. To be sure, we
will have to go from one place to another and that makes
heavy expenses to be sure, but we can outline a definite plan
as to how this should be worked and when we go to a town or
a city you make the preparations for the handling of the work
there, be present for the first few weeks, or however long it
is necessary, leaving just in time to make the preparations
at the next town. We would then, as soon as we were
organized, each man handle his own expenses and we split the
proceeds three ways, for of course it is necessary for us to
have a stenographer that can handle the work as it would be
for either of us. But, as I said, it's a hard thing to talk
this thing over in a letter. You'll just have to come up
here and let's get it straight. Of course, it's necessary
that we make the work pay for itself, and that we interest
such people in it that are able to pay to help those who are
not able to help themselves. That I believe you know how to
do.
Let me hear from you right away and know how soon you can
come. Please remember me to your Mother. I am,
Yours sincerely, Edgar Cayce EC:GD
8/24/24 (Sunday) [
4646]'s letter:
Dear Mr. Cayce-
I am very much enthused over the prospects of being able to
really do good through being connected with you in your work.
Wrote you a letter two or three days ago but haven't had time
to get a reply from you as yet. The reason for this letter
is that my exultation mounts higher and higher over the
anticipation of a future of good work, and plans for the
furtherance of the Institute come to me with the rapidity of
sparks from a beating anvil. There is no reason why, with
your wonderful power, that the Institute could not be placed
on the firmest of foundations and, in the years to come
serve as a monument to the unselfishness of one man and the
crowning glory of victory over the ravages of disease. Never
have I felt such - THE urge, the unquestionable command, as I
have in answering your offer to help. I anxiously await your
word.
Sincerely, [
4646]

Dear [
4646]:
Yours of the 24th passed my letter. I had expected perhaps
to hear from you before this. I understand that your Mother
has two of the patients I have given readings for [[
259]
& [
711]] recently. I'd like to know just how she found
conditions, and you have an excellent opportunity to again
see the demonstrations of the forces as I exercise through
the phenomena.
I expect to go to Columbus, Ohio, the first of the week, to
be at the New Southern Hotel. If you can get a chance, or
the opportunity, to run up to see me wish you'd do so. If
not, write me fully just what you think about how the things
should be conducted, carried on; that is the thing I wanted
to talk to you about more than anything else.
Thanking you for your letter, and hoping to see you or hear
from you real soon, I am
Sincerely, Edgar Cayce EC:GD

10/24 Mother's letter:
Montgomery, Ala.
My Dear Mr. Cayce,
[
4646] is very anxious to take up work with you, and I want
to ask your plans about the work. I know you will be glad
to ans. me. One thing is, will his work begin there when he
comes, or what city will you work first.
He has Fla in view for winter thinks you could do a big work
at Tampa, and other Florida towns, but maybe you have already
mapped out your territory. Please write me with regard to
this, as he would not like to be on expenses if not at work.
A serious matter has called [
4646] to his brother and I take
this means of telling you he is planning to be with you. He
will be back in a few days; by Saturday probably. I firmly
believe that [
4646] is ideally suited for this work. The
experience gained through contact with my work here will no
doubt prove a great help both to him and you.
We have a very good recommendation in the improvement of the
[...] children [[
259] & [
711]]. [
4646] prepared a letter
which will state the detail of their cases and will send it
to you as soon as he returns. I am enclosing a picture of
the baby [
711] who had not walked prior to coming here for
6 weeks. Its improvement dates from the day your directions
were first carried out. IT IS a WONDERFUL CASE.
Hoping I hear from you by the time he returns, I am,
Very Sincerely Yours, [...]

4646]'s mother:

Dayton, Ohio
Mrs. [...]
My dear Mrs. [...]
Not having heard from you in some time, I thought I'd
drop you a line to find out how you're getting along, how
everything is going, and know what [
4646] has decided to do
regarding his work as yet. I'm in hopes that he has been
able to decide on something and that things are working out
nicely for him. I presume he must have taken up the work in
Tampa, as seemingly to me that was the thing for him to do.
I'd like to know how Mrs. [
2457]'s little girl [
711] is
getting along, and if she is still on the improve. Also
I understand there is the likelihood of another case from
Selma that will be brought to you right soon, if they haven't
already come in. If at anytime there should be any condition
which you would like to check up on, I should be very glad
for you to make a list of the questions and let us go over
the case again and see if I can be of help.
When [
4646] was here, he asked that I lend him two or
three readings of different characters. He said that he
would return same. We did not have time to make copies;
consequently, took them out of our files. If you have these,
I shall be very glad if you will return them, or you desire
copies of them, why you may have copies made and return the
original, as we do not like to have these broken from our
files. Very often we have to make reference to them.
Thanking you for attending to this at once, and with kindest
personal regards to you and [
4646] I am
Sincerely, Edgar Cayce EC:GD

4646]'s letter:
..., Calif.
Mr. Edgar Cayce
Virginia Beach, Va.
My dear Mr. Cayce:
No doubt you will be surprised to hear from me in California
but this little world is becoming smaller each year. I am
working in the picture business, writing theme songs and
scenarios. I find it most interesting at all times. I trust
that you and yours have been blessed with good health and
a goodly share of happiness these last few years since I've
seen you. I would like to know something of your good work
again. This country is ideal for such a work as yours. Many
people of great service to the world are without means of
carrying on their respective work because of poor health and
would welcome you with open arms, allotting to you the great
appreciation you so richly deserve. However, this letter
was not intended to try to persuade your leaving those good
people in Virginia. No point of this letter? Thanks. Mr.
Cayce, I remember a scenario you wrote one, call I believe,
"Bride of the Incas" [See [
4908] series]. Now I am in
the position to place original scenarios, and if I am not
offending you by suggesting you send me this old scenario to
sell on commission, I'll urge you to do so, and by Air Mail.
Of course, with the advent of the talkies, the thing would
have to be worked over with dialogue. You could do this, or
I might attempt it. It will take about 5 or 6 days to reach
me, and if you care for complete protection on your story,
would advise your registering title and synopsis in copyright
office, Library of Congress, with your name and address.
This is a very simple procedure. IN the event you would care
to write more of them I believe I could place them and at
nice money. My commission would be the customary 20% and
they would bring from $5000. to $10000. each provided lyric
for theme song accompanies scenario. PLEASE LET ME HEAR FROM
YOU BY RETURN AIR MAIL, OR WIRE ME, WHICH IS BETTER. With
the very best of good wishes, I am,
Your friend, [
4646]
P.S. Please excuse this hasty letter.
6/10/29 EC's letter:
Dear [
4646]:
Yours of 30th to hand and am today mailing you the copy of
the story "A Bride of the Inca" [See [
4908] series]. Of
course I feel this can be made into a good picture, for the
story is much more original to my mind than some that I have
disposed of and seen on the screen.
For a Talkie know this would have to be changed a good deal
but am sure you can do that also. This was copyrighted some
time ago and have been waiting for the proper time to dispose
of it, and then you happened along.
Am also sending you a copy of the booklet of the Hospital.
This will give you some idea of the work here, going very
nicely. Open now two months, have had 19 patients; so far
all but one have gone home well, three there now.
Let me hear from you. See what can be done with this and we
possibly can get many more original stories where this came
from. I will expect you to look after my personal interests
as a friend and co-worker in the matter.
With kindest personal regards
Sincerely, [signed] Edgar Cayce
