1. GC: You will have before you the work of the Association of National Investigators, Inc., of Virginia Beach, Va., and all those associated with same; the contract for the building of the hospital and conditions surrounding same. You will tell us if this is being gone about in the proper way and manner, and if there are any details that we should have at this time for the furtherance of that being attempted in the proper way and manner. You will answer any other questions which we may ask you.

2. EC: Yes, we have those conditions that emanate and are being builded upon, of Association of National Investigators, and conditions surrounding those associated and connected with same. These we have had before.

3. Much change is coming about for all those associated with this work, in a much larger way and manner than scarcely ANY associated know, dream, or contemplate.

4. There are many things that might be said concerning these conditions. Those in hand at present regarding contract, contractors, and the elements surrounding the actual physical erection - and most of all that same care and attention that would be given to the proper training of any element destined to play an important or definite part in the lives, physical and mental, of many peoples. As to definite physical conditions, it has been given that the contractor as has been employed would be well to consider, for there are definite conditions being worked out - and influences in the lives of many associated through same have a much deeper meaning than the purely physical aspect as seen from an outsider.

5. In the conditions that would be well to consider - that of the building itself, as to the conveniences for the care and attention for those for whom this is being prepared. Other conditions are near normal for the developments of all those associated, and will bring little or no regret to anyone who so expends self in mental, material, physical or spiritual action, or contribution to the development of that force and power being set in motion through the building,

erecting, putting into concrete physical activity, those elements as are associated, and as will radiate from these sources. Ready for questions.

6. (Q) Are there any special conditions regarding contract or contractors that the Association and those interested in same should be instructed concerning at present? (A) Keep in that same AMIABLE manner toward all concerned, as to bring that mental and spiritual reaction of the physical and material relationship between contractor and those that are letting contract to others for the building proper. As to changes and definite conditions of material nature, keep that same SPIRIT of building as has been outlined for those associated MATERIALLY in the operation.

7. (Q) Is it better to face the building towards the ocean? (A) As has been given, many conditions - material, financial, real, and of the suggestive nature - why such should be placed in this manner - it, the change, will give much more of an imposing outlook or view, and that in itself will attract - cause many to seek more of the truths that may be disseminated through these sources. Think not that all will be as ease - for, "Though he were the son, yet learned he OBEDIENCE through the things which he suffered." NOT as spiritual or as of purpose, but of contempt, ridicule, from those understanding little.

8. (Q) How far should building be placed from back line? (A) At least fifteen to twenty feet from chimney to the back line.

9. (Q) How far should building be placed from south line? (A) Equal distance between south and north line.

10. That is all the questions.

11. Much may be said concerning this. We are through for the present.
