1. HLC: You will have before you [2048], who was at his home, ..., ..., present here, over the disappearance of her son. You will trace the movements of this boy, giving information regarding his whereabouts and explaining this situation to the mother. If the securing and presenting of this information will in any way be harmful to the entity Edgar Cayce, the channel for this information, you will explain and say this may not be given. You will answer the questions that may be submitted, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the circumstances, and those conditions and anxieties that are manifested here with the mother.
3. These are not altogether pleasant surroundings or pleasant conditions.
4. There has not come to the body any physical harm, though there are circumstances and conditions which have caused the entity to refrain from giving the knowledge of the whereabouts.
5. In the coming months - or in August - there will be the full knowledge, and the return of the body to the mother.
6. Those circumstances and activities which have brought about this seeming negligence or neglect are such that they had best NOT be indicated.
7. There WILL be the return of the body in August - of the coming year.
8. Ready for questions.
9. (Q) Is there anything further that would be of help to the mother, that might be given at this time? (A) Only that there must be the whole trust in the divine Providence, that is the sustaining hope and the great POWER of defence in every circumstance which arises in the experience of those who come to such experiences in this

material plane. Know that each soul is precious in the sight of the Father, and He has not willed that any should perish, but has with every temptation given that which will be the sustaining force, power and love to meet every circumstance - if there will be the whole trust in Him. There is, then, that which should keep the mother in that hope. For there will come those experiences of real joy in KNOWING that the body is in that influence which will bring the better force and power for his bringing into experience helpfulness to others.
10. (Q) Should the mother make any attempts to locate the boy; and if so, through what channels? (A) ONLY that of greater distress might be caused by same. For by the own WILL there were the changes made in the name, as well as in the environs and the surroundings.
11. We are through for the present. Copy to Self " " Ass'n file [GD's note: I remember that the body's mother was mumbling a prayer in a strange language (Armenian) throughout the reading period; I say prayer because she had her hands cupped in front of her as in the attitude of prayer. We could not understand her at all; her problem regarding her missing son had to be related to us by Mrs. Taylor Belcher and Mr. Parke E. Doland, who were trying to get help for her through Edgar Cayce.]
