Received your notice of commencement of class, I suppose it means the first as collegiate course, We should rather have the Normal course if you think we are prepared for it, I suppose you could not let us take a review in the collegiate class and also the Normal course for the $100Editorial Note: $100.00 in 1885 is the equivalent of $2,635.64 in 2019., could you? Perhaps we do not need a review if we should take the Normal course yet I think it might be very helpful to us. We should like your advice in regard to these things and any favors which you might see fit to bestow, I assure you will be gratefully received. We wish to get all of Christian Science that we can and make as rapid progress as possible, We have been in practice ever since we left the class in Jan. last and knowing what we already do of the great truth of Christian Science, we can choose no other course but to follow on looking beyond the present burdens which seem at times to weigh so heavily
