1. GC: You will have before you the body and the enquiring mind of [5484], ... Street, New York, and his business associations and relations. You will answer the questions I will ask you regarding any of these, and all other phases of his life.
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, the enquiring mind, [5484]. There may be much given as respecting the abilities of the body. There may be also given as respecting those conditions as cause dissatisfaction and discontent in the experience and experiences of the body.
3. In the body physical, while very good, there should be precautions taken, especially as to the using up of the nervous energy of the body without the necessary precaution to replenish and rebuild. While the body needs that of making for specializing in certain directions through the present, or contemplated associations - there should be more consideration to the well ROUNDED life, and the interests of the mental body see the greater scope of experience in many fields. This may be said of most bodies, but particularly should THIS body make more of such conditions; rather than centralizing so much in one way or manner - for while there should not wholly be dependence upon chance acquaintance, nor upon friendships, for the working out of those conditions in the business affairs OF the body; still, there SHOULD be known - that to be of interest is to be of service to all whom the body contacts, and especially in any relationships with ones the body meets or contacts, especially in the business abilities of the body.
4. Changing of the environs to those of, while not so speculative in their nature - more STABLE in the issues, would be more stabilizing to the abilities and to the body itself; for security must be felt in that the body would sell, and unless a body - and THIS body especially - believes in that which it has to OFFER, whether to friend or acquaintance, there cannot be that of the whole-heartedness

in its activities.
5. Ready for questions.
6. (Q) Should I continue selling new securities for the [...] Brothers? (A) This the body should consider well itself, for if one should NOT determine in a moment that which is to make such a change in its surroundings, associations or environs; but to change to those that are of a more STABLE nature would be much more SATISFYING, and - as WE find - would be MUCH better than continuing in those of such new issues as to be rather speculative, and sometimes QUESTIONED - even by self
7. (Q) Should I continue the same work for another house? (A) We would continue the same CHARACTER of association, but a different CLASS of association.
8. (Q) Will internal conditions at [...] Brothers change in my favor? (A) This the body may MAKE to change in his favor, for the TENDENCIES are such - SHOULD the body desire to continue in that association altogether.
9. (Q) If I change - what kind of house - large or small? (A) Large.
10. (Q) Should I try to open a "new securities" department for a brokerage house? (A) This would not be so well in the beginning. Would the body train self, through actual experience in those of the more stable securities' sales, THEN the body will be in the position to open such a connection or such a branch with old associations or connections.
11. (Q) Should I accept the offer from ... & Co. to sell only seasoned securities for them? (A) We would!
12. (Q) Will my connection with them be permanent, pleasant and profitable? (A) That may be only made or answered within self, according to the application of self; for the abilities of self lie in this direction - but that is answering; for ever is it as of old, "There is set before thee good AND evil". One chooses according to the application, or the spirit of self's application to that chosen to be done. Make for self that position, that - whether selling securities, shoe strings or shoe blacking - the NECESSITY is a service rendered by self to the individual, and unless this can be felt, lived, acted, do not associate self in that correction.
13. (Q) Should I make a change into an entirely different kind of business? (A) No.

14. (Q) Should I economize further in my scale of living, pending outcome of any new venture, and along with lines? (A) This will depend upon the application of self to the associations in the new surroundings. Set before self an ideal. Make that ideal worthy of being attained, but of such a high nature that it is BEYOND the reach even of self. Do not lose the ideal. Do not so act, in ANY capacity - whether in that of act or deed towards self, associates, or the surrounding conditions - as to be in the position of losing faith or confidence in self; yet never be overbearing nor over confident; knowing that, "As ye sow, so SHALL ye reap", for "With what measure YE mete, it shall be MEASURED to you again."
