TEXT

GC: You will give us the condition of operations at the present time, giving any information that will insure the success of the operations and any information that will assist the operators in any way in bringing in this well. You will answer questions regarding this that I will ask you.
EC: Now, we find not much change in the operations from that as we have had here before. Only necessary that this be carried on to the depth of the seventy-eight (78) feet necessary to reach the production. The troubles as have been encountered in the caving and with lines will soon be through. The delays cause more work in cleaning out. This has delayed the making of hole. We will soon find, with the making of this depth, for the increase in the amount of oil, with gas, in this shale, gradually goes into the larger production, and only needs be kept open and working to bring the desired results. Keep on. We will find the production.
(Q) Are they drilling at present?
(A) No. Preparations and stringing in. Some conditions regarding the pulley-wheel-belt.
(Q) Is there any condition of which the operators should be warned?
(A) None other than those given as regarding the gas and the casing. The amount of water as is made is not a hindrance, unless hole left without operating too long. Then produces more of the cavings, giving trouble with the baler in operation. The greater the amount of shale as encountered at present, the greater the amount in production and the long life of same. We will produce in the beginning an increase, as given.
(Q) Considering conditions at present, when will they be able to start drilling?
(A) In three to five hours.
(Q) After starting to drill, how long will it take to bring in this well?
(A) Depending upon amount of time required in cleaning the depth necessary to make new hole. From eighteen to twenty-four hours of drilling on new hole.
(Q) Any other suggestions regarding conditions?
(A) None other than has been given. The change in line and in the belts and wheels all necessary to begin the operations.

REPORTS

6/20/25 EC's letter to Mr. Wyrick:
Mr. M. B. Wyrick, Room 308, 427 S. LaSalle St., Chicago, Ill.
My dear Mr. Wyrick:-
I thank you for yours of the 18th, and as we hadn't heard, we got the enclosed reading this afternoon. It seems from this that they've been having some trouble again but are about ready to go to work on the thing and it shouldn't be so very long now before we have some real results. Let's hope and pray that this is true.
Again thanking you and trusting that we will soon have wonderful results from the labors, with kindest personal regards from all.
Sincerely, Edgar Cayce EC:GD
6/26/25 Mr. Wyrick's letter to EC:
The Western Union Telegraph Company Incorporated Plant Department - M. B. Wyrick Division Plant Superintendent Chicago
Mr. Edgar Cayce, 322 Grafton Ave. Dayton, Ohio
My dear Cayce:-
Please give me another reading on the well Saturday. Mail it special so that I may get it Sunday, same as done the past two weeks.
I think we are nearing production but I would like to know the cause of the number of delays and breaking of equipment that we have experienced during the past three weeks. Has it been due to careless or malicious handling of same by the operators? Is it best that we continue with one crew drilling daylight tour or that we reemploy a crew and run twenty four hours per day?
What is present depth and formation? How many more feet necessary to go and in about what time may we expect to drill into production? The information you gave me in the past two readings was wonderfully correct as far as we have been able to check it.
I will probably go to Texas next week. With my personal regards and best wishes for yourself and family, which includes Miss Davis. Yours truly, [signed] M. B. Wyrick
Hope to wire you soon that the big well is in.
