Dr. Alfred Duke Durham
Osteopathic Physician

Pittsburgh, Pa.
Association for Research and Enlightenment
Virginia Beach, Virginia
Attention Mr. Cayce:
Dear Sir:
When one of my patients told me of your father's death I was
truly sorry to learn of his demise. Away back in the days
when he was living in Bowling Green I knew him very well,
that is up to the time when I left home in the Spring of
1903.
Had I established my practice in Kentucky it is more than
likely I would have cooperated in the work he carried out in
the years that followed. John [
4946] and Jim Blackburn are
"cousins" of mine as we used to claim down to the third and
fourth cousin bases.
You can easily imagine how fascinating I found the book
"There Is A River". As my practice includes "sitology" if I
may use a 25 cent word, I am sure Edgar would have been
inclined to investigate my kelp, alfalfa and parsley formula
which is remarkably rich in organic iodine.
If it is your pleasure, keep me informed regarding your
further investigations and findings. If you have occasion to
be in Pittsburgh I hope you will call on me.
Sincerely yours, [signed] A. D. Durham, D.O.
