EC: Now, we have those conditions surrounding the operations
in the well on the lands of Madison Byron Wyrick, in Bosque
County, Texas. The preparations as are being made for the
setting of the casing are well, and well that the conditions
be guarded against losing tools in such preparations. When
the string is ready to be set, there must be given particular
attention to the tautness of the string in its descent, and
with the finding of obstructions by cavings, or otherwise,
well that same be not forced, else there may occur the
crumple in the casing. Be ready to string in, and with
casing suspended remove obstruction below, that same may
descend properly to its place, for we find that this will
come in its proper way and manner, by this care, and that the
success then of the operation will be assured, for there is
at PRESENT the show of oil coming from the lower depths, as
well as some from the formation just above where the pump is
located; the greater and the nearer place to the pool,
however, being in the bottom, which is correct for the
present operation. It will be found also necessary that when
the string is set that this be well hung from the top -
preferably would we use the spider from same.
Follow this, see, as we have given, for we will find the
success with these operations, and even though tediously long
and patience taking, yet these will pay fifteen hundred for
every one invested in these operations.
We are through for the present.

REPORTS
7/03/26 EC's ltr. to Mr. Wyrick:
My dear Mr. Wyrick:-
Certainly appreciate your sending the information as
regarding the well. I am sorry indeed to know that Pat has
been having so much trouble. I am in hopes that he is
feeling real good, for I'm sure he realizes he has a good
sized job ahead of him. By the way, Mrs. Cayce asked that
you suggest Pat have a Life Reading, as she feels sure he
must have been associated with Job, or Job himself. Its been
a long hard pull, but I think we are nearing the goal now.
I certainly hope that you are feeling good yourself. Let us
hear from you whenever you have the opportunity.
With kindest personal regards,
Sincerely, Edgar Cayce

7/07/26 Mr. Wyrick's letter to EC:
My dear Cayce,
Received this a.m. the reading on well which you gave 11 a.m.
Saturday. This was given just 4 hours before Leach broke the
drill line and left tools in hole. LaBryn wired you Monday
for reading to locate tools. Pat fished them out Monday pm
as you will note by copy of messages. They were to start
casing today. Have not heard how they are getting on.
There has been several wires sent you past few months
requesting readings. Most of them sent by LaBryn, Crews &
Taylor over my name. This is ok with me provided they
collect for you from their friends they request readings for.
I have no way checking on these as many are sent without my
knowledge. Wish you would tell me of any who have not paid.
