PortlandEditorial Note: Portland, Maine Sept 7" 1885
I write you in answerAs Written:ans to your last letter and answered your questions you asked me, and promised you I would not teach anyoneAs Written:any one again until I have your consent, and asked you if you would forgive me and love me again and let me be your indorsed and recognized Student again and if you would let me come into a class again this fall either as a Student, or to listen to your teachings to a class, or let me take a normal course, I have not received any reply to it. I have never for once departed from your teachings in healing, and never shall, I remember your saying once we could not heal if one did and I believe it. Oh how I wish you would let me come and see you, you can never know the hours, dear teacher, that I have spent in thinking of and longing for a word of advice and love from you, I do feel lost in this great work withoutAs Written:with out my teacher's advice, I have nothing to do with the opposite element, and feel that I am not endorsed by the College, and I don’t As Written: dont know why I am not, I have done nothing why I should not be, if I meet a Student and treat and use them as well as I know how, they go to you with some Story, then when I hear of it, I am more than Surprised. I met Mrs Stetson once, enjoyed every minute of her Society and we talked nothing but metaphysics, after she went up to the College. I would have been so pleased to have had her tell the same Story in my presence that she told of me to you & the Students. I don’t As Written: dont speak of this to find fault, only I think mesmerism is working very hard to keep the Christian Scientists away from me, I do good work but I get so mixed in my mind sometimesAs Written:some times, I must see you, I have called twice, and could not see you, once was told you were engaged, and once you were away, if you will only give me your love again. I did very wrong to teach even the few that I have taught. I did not seek them or give out to teach. I told you in the last I wrote you how I came to teach them, and promise not to do so again and have not. if you will forgive me. (and I know you will) I will always ask your advice and be guided by it in all things. let me study with you again this fall. or sit in a class and listen to your teachings. or take the normal course, please write me soon, & believe me I want to be your dear Student
