1. GC: If the body of Edgar Cayce is now in correct polarization with the earth to give information regarding material forces, it will now give correct and definite direction and information for locating the treasure buried at or near Kelly's Ford, Culpepper Co., Va., giving the correct number of feet from the southwest corner of the abutment to the exact location of the treasure and give some present day surface indications of the location of the treasure so that those searching for same shall not be mistaken in the location given.
2. EC: Yes, we have the treasure as has been located, or as has been given the location of, near what WAS Kelly's Ford, Culpepper County, Virginia.
3. In making the location from the abutment that was in place for temporary, and to have been permanent, ridge, we find there have been excavations, or the seeking of same, near the locations as have been made, so that present day surface indications must include some of that as HAS been excavated. In a direction that would be almost due West from the Southwest corner of the abutment, we find the excavation has come nearest to the treasure, and that to go toward the abutment from a point some ten and a half or twelve (10 1/2 or 12) feet from this corner, in a North and East direction, would be a location as has been made, above or toward abutment from the uncovered portions of the cache and logs. We would, in locating same, make a definite location with the INDICATOR; then excavate, and place or portion in SUFFICIENT amount to cover an area of six to seven (6 to 7) feet in this direction. Ready for questions.
4. (Q) Is this location 11 1/2 to 12 feet East and North from the Southwest corner of the abutment? (A) No! Read what HAS been given!
5. (Q) Is this location from the old excavation or from that recently excavated? (A) Recently excavated.
6. (Q) Direction from stump recently uncovered.
