3/?/44 Aunt's (?) note verifying appointment which had been
made on
1/24/44:
This boy, since childhood, has been erratic and unmanageable;
would not take an education nor stick to a job.
He did not want to enter military service, but did volunteer.
However, he has not submitted to authority and, I think,
attempted to desert. He claims that he lost his memory and
does not know what happened to him during the two months
before he was found. The authorities seem to believe him and
have him in the mental ward. I do not know what they intend
to do to him, nor does he.
He is beginning to think there is something wrong with his
mind. He has been in several bad car wrecks and was very ill
when very young. Several years ago I persuaded him to see
Dr. Tucker in Richmond, who said he could find nothing wrong
with the boy. However, I cannot believe he is simply
willfully bad, as he has a nice personality, manners, and
ideals; nor has there ever been anything of this kind in the
family.
He is very much worried about himself and wants to do better.
I think he would like to be reinstated and make good before
it is too late.
I shall cooperate with you in every way possible, but do not
think it wise to ask him to do so. If his address is
changed, I will notify you. The hour and time suit me
perfectly. Of course, not having seen the place, I cannot
describe it. I hope you can go on with this information, but
if there is anything further I can do, please let me know.
Yours truly, [aunt?] [...]

Dear Miss [...]:
We were unable to get the reading for [

not sufficient.

Sincerely, Edgar Cayce
