Time of Reading Culpepper County, 12:00 Noon - Eastern Standard Time. Virginia.
1. GC: You will have before you the treasure located near Kelly's Ford, Culpepper Co., Va., and the work which has been done in attempting to locate this by A. C. Preston, Dr. Snyder and son, Gray Salter, Edgar Cayce and Hugh Lynn Cayce, especially that work done on April 29, 1931, in accordance with information received through these sources. Please tell us if we followed this information correctly, or what mistakes were made that prevented us from locating this treasure. Please direct us as to how to proceed to locate this treasure now. Please explain our failures so we may understand it.
2. EC: Yes, we have the treasure as has been located in Culpepper County, Virginia, near Kelly's Ford. Also those operations, those searches as made with the information, with individuals, and the failures so far in locating same.
3. As has been given, we find the treasure still intact, and that in all apparent manners and ways the information as given has been followed in accordance with instructions through these sources, even to checking same, sinking shaft, and such.
4. In considering, then, these conditions, apparently there is fault in some respects. As has been given, MANY conditions enter in, in seeking for such sources of that that becomes powers in the use of same, especially in seeking same through such sources, such channels; yet when each are in accord, and the purposes, the desires, the aims are one, and they in accord with that as is set as purpose and aims, then apparently there should be that complete success; yet each have NOT examined themselves. This does not alter the conditions as to whether the treasure is here of there, or as to whether there has been a mis-application of the information given.
5. Then, in seeking same - and in the manner as to how each should act or conduct their OWN lives as to make the complete success of this undertaking:
6. The manners, the ways, have been set before each as to
3812-11 Page 2
how they shall conduct their activities. THAT an individual application.
7. Then, in the circumstances, in the conditions as exist, how shall these individuals, as individuals - and as a group - proceed to locate that being sought?
8. So long as the indicator and the information is in accord, so long SEEK in THAT place INDICATED in the information and by the indicator. As to how this shall be done - these, perforce, must needs be done to MEET the PHYSICAL EXISTENT conditions as exist in the IMMEDIATE place and IMMEDIATE surroundings. As to how, these are here. As to the manner each individual is to conduct self, that with the individual. Because rocks, that apparently are of an origin that would indicate that these could NOT have been placed there since the placing of the cache - Is the information in the same source of reasoning as is the growing of nature itself? Is there any more unreasonableness that this may have GROWN into place, than that even the PLACE could BE pointed out either by forces not understood in natural means or forces not understood in the realm of mind or mental things? Then, act in accord with that as SEEMETH best unto each individual AS a group; for, as we find, the moneys - as given - are intact. Ready for questions.
9. (Q) Is the treasure located directly under the blue rock which we struck in the bottom of present excavation? (A) As indicated, as given - so long as the indicator AND the information point to one and the same, then seek there.
10. (Q) How thick is this rock? (A) No matter how thick, if it's to be searched through - then seek!
11. (Q) How far does it extend to the West? (A) Over the whole ledge.
12. (Q) Is the depth down to the rock struck in the bottom of the excavation the correct depth? (A) If it was, the treasure would have been uncovered if it was wholly so - would it not? Let's be consistent and reasonable with those things that are to be reasoned from the material viewpoint. Let's understand that forces in nature, forces in man, forces in the soul of man, sources as are in the realm of man's undertakings, are being used. Use each in THEIR respective sphere. We are through. Copy to Hugh Lynn Cayce " " File " " Dr. O. H. Snyder on May 16, 1931
