2/11/26 EC's letter to Mr. Wyrick:
[First part regards Mr. Wyrick's personal reading.]
Now, as regarding the data, I certainly thank you and
appreciate your comments in respect to same. It wasn't my
intent and purpose, Mr. Wyrick, when I sent this to you, to
impose on you, by asking you to have this gotten in shape for
me. While, to be sure, that's what I want to do, for it can
only be worth something to me by getting it out to those who
may be interested, I first wished though to have your candid
opinion regarding same, for you know, a fellow can get
a thing so centered in his mind that HE thinks it sounds
alright, but when the other fellow hears it or sees it, it
doesn't sound the same way at all. The principal thing that
worried me, was the kind of heading we should put it out
under. Its too long for an open letter, and I don't know as
I like that "A Message to You" as we had on the other little
booklet. I thought perhaps you, or some of your associates
there, might suggest a name that would be fine. I know that
Crews, Taylor, LaBryn, or Milne, all have good ideas, and
they might, with you, suggest something. Should you want to,
though, go ahead and have this published for me, there are
some little corrections I have gone over it and made that
I think makes it sound a good deal better, and I'll be
glad to send it on to you, if you wish me to. I certainly
do appreciate your offer, and appreciate your desire to
cooperate with me in trying to be of some help.
I certainly am in hopes that Moran has succeeded in getting
the hole cleared, and that you have had a ready response to
your letter sent out, for I am sure that each and everyone
should respond. I feel that they will. You know I'll be
anxious to hear from you, and appreciate your letting me
hear whenever you have the opportunity.
Trusting this finds you feeling good, thanking you for your
letter, and with kindest personal regards from all,
Sincerely, Edgar Cayce EC:GD
2/13/26 My dear Mr. Wyrick:-
I have yours of the 10th, for which I thank you very, very
much. I'm glad to know that Moran is making some progress,
and I'm certainly anxious to hear some good news from there
real soon.
Now, in regards the little booklet. Mr. Wyrick, I think this
would be wonderful of you, if I'm not imposing, to have these
prepared for me. I don't want you to burden yourself with
my troubles, because the Lord knows you've got enough of
your own; but I'm enclosing you, under separate cover, the
corrected copy. Also what I would like to have printed on
the front of the little booklet. I don't want the picture of
course, and I think without any other word or comment, this
just printed on the cover, in such a size that will be in
keeping with the size of the book, but of course keep the
same circle, but have the half tone or etching made so
that it will print nicely on them. Don't you think this is
alright? Everything's in the picture that's in the book, if
you can see it. That which we can't see is in the well! But
it'll come up just like the Sun is doing when we get down to
it! This is some of my own ideas. I believe though it will
induce people to look inside - don't you think so? If they
were printed on just a little bit larger folder it would be
alright - just so it would go inside a six and three-quarter
envelope. I don't think the change in the size would make
any difference in the cost price, and I don't think that it
would be necessary to print this in any better binding than
the first one was printed in. Perhaps, if this was in a
tinted paper, a sort of a cream, and just the paper binding,
it would be better. [See
4905-55, Par. R3.] Now, there ARE
some people that make odd sizes, which makes up very pretty,
though it is necessary of course to have the odd size
envelope to fit. Should you decide though to go ahead and
print this for me until I can do better, why I'll leave that
entirely up to you and the other boys there, for I know they
all have pretty good ideas. I certainly will appreciate
anything that you CAN do.
Thanking you, and with kindest personal regards,
Sincerely, Edgar Cayce EC:GD

2/15/26 Mr. Wyrick's letter: Regarding the manuscript you
wish put into booklet form, please mail me the corrections
you mention so that we may have it set up correctly.
I am enclosing you a copy of the last message [See Par. R8
above] received from Mr. Moran regarding the well. In your
next reading outline the operations necessary for the most
expedient way of getting a hole through the lime formation
that we were in before the bailer was lost, would it be
possible to clean the hole as much as possible and put in
several hundred pounds of cement and after this is set to
drill through. And a new hole in the lime. There is
certainly some condition that is wrong as they are not making
any progress.
With kindest personal regards,
Yours very truly, [signed] M B Wyrick
