Time of Reading 3:00 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. Aztec, New Mexico.

1. GC: You will have before you the physical body and the enquiring mind of [1180] at the American Hotel, Aztec, New Mexico, and his home and various business connections, associations and relations. You will give this body advice on all phases of his life, and answer the questions we will ask you regarding same.

2. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [1180] and those associations, connections and relations. Many of these we have had before. Many have been the changes in the affairs, the surroundings and the relations of the body, since last we had same. In many conditions, many ways, physical and material, the body very much in the same condition or position as when we first had same; yet in material things the body occupies a very different status in the present surroundings.

3. As regarding the relationships and those conditions as exist, there soon will be a proposition made the body as respecting some developments, some operations, with the use of the materials and equipment as owned by the body. These would be well to be used in that operation, but we would NOT make those connections in such a way and manner that the whole of the holdings, including equipment, could not be disposed of on short notice; for with the operation will come also, or during the period, that of the opportunity to dispose of same, and that we would do - for, as has been given, the fields in Kentucky OFFER, FOR the body, the greater OPPORTUNITY, as to making the greater success FINANCIALLY; and same, while coming under stress at times, will prove to be the most satisfactory in every way.

4. While at home those conditions have not proven as satisfactory financially in many respects, the respect, the manner of operations, the manner of conducting same, has stabilized - and will enable the body physically to work out many things that will be the most satisfactory; for with the disposal of the holdings and equipment in the New Mexico field, the body will be enabled to gather together, through the associations and groups with which the body has been associated, in the home, that that will enable the body to

carry on in the Kentucky field in a way that will BRING the most satisfying results. DO NOT attempt to begin operations in Kentucky on too large a scale. The production, and the developments of production there, will pay for self - and let the INCREASE be such as to enable the body to grow GRADUALLY into that of an operator as worthy of the proper consideration as to abilities and as to the manners in which same may be conducted. Ready for questions.

5. (Q) What should be done to keep body in best physical conditions? (A) Keep much of that in the way of the proper attitude of mind as respecting the spiritual body, the mental body, as related to the physical conditions in same.

6. (Q) How can the body best see to the comforts of his wife and parents? (A) This has just been outlined.

7. (Q) How should he proceed in present location? (A) As has been outlined, there will soon be offered the proposition for the use of the equipment, of holdings. Take hold there, but not in such a manner that - WITH the use of same - the offers as will come for the disposal of the holdings and of equipment may be done IMMEDIATELY when this is offered, see? This, as we find, would require two - three - possibly four months; not longer.

8. (Q) Should he attempt the gas proposition Sherman Township, Huron County, Ohio? If so, how should he proceed? (A) We would not attempt same until after there is a disposal of many conditions as confront the body, in the disposing of equipment, in the establishing of self and of those associated with self IN Kentucky.

9. (Q) Should he drill any more in Reed Township, Seneca County, or Norwich Township, Huron County, Ohio? (A) These are all in an aftermath. They are behind, not ahead at present.

10. (Q) How can he recover money lost in Kentucky? (A) By going to work there!

11. (Q) How can he recover money tied up in the Attica bank? (A) This may only be recovered through the regular channels of the distribution to the depositors of this institution.

12. (Q) Is there a good pool of oil under, or near his father's farm, in Norwich Township, Huron County, Ohio? (A) This, as we find, is rather in a formation condition, than of a satisfactory production commercially. Some gas and some oil may be located. This, as we find, would be a better proposition later, than at present.

13. (Q) Should he attempt to buy land adjoining his father's farm and stock it with sheep? (A) Later on this may be accomplished. NOT in the present

condition.

14. (Q) Where should he and his wife establish their permanent home? and when should they do it? (A) This will be a development of the conditions as they progress, see? for with the proper handling of the conditions, they will be enabled to establish wherever they SO desire. As we find, there would be more than one, in the end.
