1. GC: You will have before you the telegram from [551], ..., New York City, which I will read to you. You will give the information for Mr. [551] in a way and manner that will be understandable to Mr. [551]. You will answer any questions I ask you regarding this.
2. EC: Yes, we have the telegram here from Mr. [551], ..., New York City. Ready for telegram.
3. (Q) "ANXIOUSLY AWAITING YOUR READING AS REQUESTED IN LAST TELEGRAM TO YOU PLEASE ADVISE FOR BUSINESS PROGRESS CONCERNING MY ASSOCIATION WITH M BOYD ZINMAN AT PEARL AND CO 4TH FLOOR 71 BWAY WILL THE ACCOUNT OF SAMUEL BLUM OF 737 BWAY BE SUCCESSFUL WHEN GIVEN TO ME WITHIN A WEEK WILL I SELL OUT FOUNDATION AT 200 AND ABOUT WHEN ALL MY REQUEST WILL SURELY BE COMPENSATED FOR PLEASE RUSH LAST THREE QUESTIONS." (A) Now, we have many different conditions to be considered as respecting this telegram, for we find there are others that are not wholly in keeping with this as is implied in this message. As for the requests for information concerning business, and the associations of this entity, these should be made of that same specific nature as the three questions asked here. First, however, the entity should gain that import as has first been given to this entity as regarding information concerning business or business association, and think not that same may be purchased with filthy lucre, for the intent and purpose of the heart of the entity must be correct before same may be used in a way and manner that would be in keeping with the tenets of such information. Then, how necessary first that the entity's intent, wish, desire, and the MANIFESTATIONS AS ARE IMPELLED BY SUCH DESIRES, be correct before same may be used.
As to conditions as have arisen, the entity finds, while there come disappointments to the entity, just as has been given, the friendships that have been made, been created by overcoming just such obstacles, make those that were they USED [if they were used] in that way and manner will be the

foundation for the greater successes of the individual, which must be founded in that spirituality as has been set as is necessary for the full development of this entity.
As for the association as is contemplated, and as has been given in regards same, these would prove very satisfactory. As to that success with the account of Blum, be rather in that way of more anxious as to being ABLE to handle CORRECTLY, than as to its success of a financial way and manner, AS TO WHAT WILL BE THE INTENT IN THE MIND of the individual for whom the entity is handling the account, AND WHAT IS THE REFLECTION OF THE MAKER THAT THE ENTITY, BLUM, WILL GET BY THE MANNER IN WHICH [551] HANDLES THE ACCOUNT. If handled correctly - yes, successful; for, as has been given, there comes in the few weeks the opportunity to be able to make much monies by quick and CORRECT thinking, for many spotted conditions arise, with those conditions as have been outlined as regarding stocks and bonds and the various changes.
The entity, then, needs to again take stock of self. Bring self to that perfect understanding, as has ONCE been gained by self, in that: "As I, MYSELF, [551], APPEAR to MAN, that is man's conception of MY conception of my God." Deal in that manner, whether selling stocks, bonds, shoes, boats, or what not.
As to the change in the prices of Foundation [N.Y. Canners Foundation Co.? He mentions this in correspondence, see 551-10, Par. R1.], this, as we see, should have been sold yesterday, see? This we find, though, will prove a success when carried in the way and manner as is outlined with this as given.
Then the success, then the way and manner in which [551] is to conduct self, MAKE that association, see - 71 Broadway. Handle that account of Blum in a correct manner. Make monies, yet use same aright, for to gain the whole world and lose own soul, for a few dollars - LITTLE - LITTLE to be gained, for ever remember the thoughts are deeds, and may become crimes or miracles.
4. We are through for the present.
