Dear Mrs Eddy-

My Wife and I desire to enter your next Class in Healing. We should have Joined the last class with Miss Osgood but the time after notification was so limited that we were unable to get ready. We expect there will be six people from Syracuse who would like to join but am not certain as to that. Mrs Bates & myself desire to learn all we can of the scienceEditorial Note: Christian Science and it is our determination to take all the Classes as fast as we can be prepared for them- We wish to know the whole Truth: We thank God daily that you have been raised up to illuminate the scriptures, so that man may understand. We have learned more in the past two month than in forty years previously and we desire to have the best and all there is for man to have here We have been having good success in Healing but desire to have the most perfect way. This city is stirred As Written: stirrid on account of what "science" is doing here and there is an earnest desire to study and know more about it- We shall be pleased to hear from you as early as may be convenient, so that I may arrange my business As Written: bussiness as best I can, so that it may be cared for in my absence-

Yours Truly
Edward P Bates
