Your favor of Nov. 3dEditorial Note: This letter is not extant. throughAs Written:thro' Mr. Frye I duly received. The lady who called upon you Mrs. A. M. Whelden and presented a letter of introduction to you from me was a student in one of my classes here last April. Immediately after the lessons or the week after she went away. I gave her the letter then as she said she would like the pleasure of meeting you. I never gave it to her supposing she would thrust some case of healing upon you but simply as an introduction preliminary to a friendly call. I have not seen Mrs W. nor has she communicated with me since last May. I know nothing of her present standing and will not vouch for her. If she cannot heal it is her own fault. Her classmatesAs Written:class mates here are finding no difficulty in healing. She has written me since in a measure calling me to account for my teaching. and saying you said I "ought never to have left any pupil in such a condition." I do not know what that means. She was instructed as well as the others how to meet mortal mind and mesmerism. This is the first complaint I have had from any student. Mrs. W. was never fit to study. She came into the class at the solicitation of a friend at whose house she was stopping as a guest. The lady's husband could not study & Mrs. W. was admitted in his place with the understanding that she should pay me what in honor she thought the instructions were worth. She entered in this exceptional manner. When the class was over she never paid me a dollar nor offered to. I was much surprised and have always felt since she did me a grievous wrong.

Mrs. W. was one of the least promising of the students, her materiality of thought & selfishness being prominent As Written: prominant characteristics. If she cannot heal it is her own want of spiritual enlightenment, & no fault of my instructions. I protest against being judged by an isolated student who never has done me justice in any way. I am to be judged in my teachings by the body of those whom I have instructed. I am not ashamed
