1. GC: You will have before you the body and enquiring mind of [1151], at the Boston Storage Warehouse Co., Huntington Ave. & Forsyth St., Boston, Mass., who seeks information, advice and guidance as to this mental and material affairs. You will answer the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the enquiring mind, [1151]; this we have had before. Ready for questions.
3. (Q) In the light of the defrauding of me by [[1341] and wife] is it to my best good to proceed against them definitely to collect the losses they have caused? (A) It is best to proceed against them, for the best interests of the body and those associated or dependent upon the body.
4. (Q) Shall I continue under present losses the publication of the Savings Bank Journal, or shall I attempt to refinance my work by selling the Journal to the Security Research Institute, Incorporated, to be under my direction, and thus proceed to control this and other publications? (A) If there is the ability to maintain the control or the policies of the publication, then refinance through this manner. These as we find would be most satisfactory for the body in the present circumstance.
5. (Q) Shall I change my place of residence in accord with the trend of my affairs, by selling my ... home for the amount of the mortgage, or will early fortuitous circumstances favor my retaining it? (A) As we find, this has been approached again and again. Under PRESENT circumstances, and the feeling and the temperament, we find that if there are the satisfactory arrangements made we would find the disposing of same, and moving the residence, would be eventually the most satisfactory. To be sure, this is in opposition to that which we have indicated heretofore. Not that circumstances and conditions are going to continue to grow worse, but there has grown - gradually - into the consciousness of the entity that there

are the NEEDS for retrenchments; and these as we find would be the more satisfactory manners to give that impetus which is so necessary FOR the improving of the general financial conditions of the body.
6. (Q) Will I be able to rent the home for one year? (A) As we find, the better would be to dispose of it, under the present conditions. You may be able to rent it for self, if there is the change made and it is so desired to be done.
7. (Q) Shall I readjust my economic affairs so as to diminish my expenses to meet a possible reduced income? (A) This, too, would be in keeping with the consciousness that has gradually been developed; but, as has been indicated, conditions are to improve. Hence many varied things should be weighed in the balance before there is such a curtailment as to bring about a feeling of failure, or of the inabilities to carry through.
8. (Q) Does there promise to be a change for the better of financial trend for me which will give me a regular income commensurate with my expenditures? (A) As just indicated, many of these conditions should be weighed in the consciousness of the entity under the existent circumstances. But as we find conditions are to improve.
9. (Q) Will it be necessary for me to resign as a member of the Board of Trustees of the ... Savings Bank? (A) We do not find it so.
10. (Q) Will there be an early improvement in my financial condition through additional occupation, or what? (A) Through additional occupation, but as we find, by the latter part of January anyway.
11. (Q) What shall I do respecting my present distressing circumstances? (A) As we find, in keeping with those suggestions first indicated should enable the body to incur such associations and activities as to be of a helpful force and influence.
12. (Q) Shall I provide that my family return to ... [New York] from ... [Ohio] on November first, or the end of the year? (A) About the end of the year, so that those changes would be in order for those that have changed and are changing as to their activities.
13. (Q) Please give the body such advice and direction as will be of the most help at this time. (A) As has been indicated, the body is passing through a testing period; but keep the purposes, the aims, the attitudes, and we will find that these will bring those
1151-27 Page 3
things of a material, mental and spiritual nature most worth while.
14. (Q) Any other advice at this time? (A) This we would do.
