6/30/28 Mr. [
943]'s letter to EC:
Dear Mr. Cayce;
It is beginning to look as if our greatest hopes are about to
be realized. Oil and gas were found in the Tamiami well at a
depth of 3105 feet, that is, there was a showing of oil and
gas from the drilling returns. The well has been closed
temporarily until a packer can be obtained from Houston,
Texas, with which to shut off a strong salt water flow at a
depth of 3040 feet. When this water is shut off they intend
to bail the hole and attempt to bring in the oil. I was on
the ground when this showing was made and it certainly did
look good. Your reading shows that oil will be found at 3800
feet. The showing that we have now may just be a small
showing and may not amount to anything. I wonder if you
could give a reading and wire me the information that you get
from it.
As you well know, if we have oil here what it means to us, as
I have under lease, some twenty-two thousand acres close by
this well. We will be able to do some of the things that we
have been figuring on for some two or three years. I will
wire you the result of the test which will be made in about
two weeks as it will take that long to get the necessary
tools to make the test.
I hope, Mr. Cayce, that you will give, if possible, a reading
on this Tamiami well as quickly as you can as the information
will be very valuable to me in disposing and arranging my
interests around this well. Please wire collect, the
information as full as you feel it safe to wire, sending the
original reading by Special delivery.
7/03/28 See
5741-14.
