1. GC: You will have before you this body and his enquiring mind, and his efforts to find employment. You will check up on the conditions for the body's betterment and advise him especially as to his finding employment. You will answer the questions which I will ask you regarding same.

2. EC: We have the body, the enquiring mind, and those conditions surrounding the efforts of the body to secure employment.

3. Now, in the information as has been given, there is seen that the body - mentally, physically - has not followed up some of those suggestions as given for the body to secure the employment, especially with that of the sugar corporation in Cuba, or the American Cuban Sugar Corporation. These would have proven to the betterment of the body had these been carried forward in a more persistent manner; that is, as is seen, the communications - while apparently soliciting little or no response, in a manner, from those approached - yet openings were left wherein had the body used that influence and those channels through which former associations were made, then connection could and would be accomplished that would bring to the body those of the satisfactory associations. Begin rather with that of the lower order of conditions and PROVE self worthy of the higher position or station, or association with such.

4. Also there is seen that there are lumber companies in Jacksonville with whom the body may find association - those of Johns-Manville, and of the lumber companies whose offices, or main offices, are in Cincinnati, Ohio. These - through efforts of the entity or body will bring results along these lines. These may be only offered as suggestions for the body, but the effort must be put forth by the body itself - for nothing will be handed to one in an offhand manner. Ready for questions.

5. (Q) Have I reached proper authority in the various connections outlined? (A) As has been given, in that especially in the sugar

companies, these needed only carrying forward those suggestions as has been here outlined, or - as has been given - in using the leads and the conditions as brought about these connections aforetime.

6. (Q) What agencies could be employed to locate proper connections? (A) Any of the regular channels or regular activities through which the entity or body may apply would bring some results, would the body put forward leads given in such.

7. (Q) What things can be done to better my material welfare in Sections 13, 14, 23 T54S R36E and what wealth do they enfold? (A) These have nothing to do with EMPLOYMENT for the body. The development of these holdings eventually may bring much of the worlds goods to the body. Do not release the hold the body at present has with same, for these will bring to the body, through the natural development of the resources there enfolded, to the betterment financially; though releases would bring little at present, or under present conditions. We are through for the present.
