My dear Mrs Eddy

I have just this morning received As Written: recieved a letter from Mrs A. M. Otis relating to joining your September class. Here it may be proper to introduce myself as Mrs Knott C.S. a student of Mr B. Sherman of ChicagoEditorial Note: Chicago, Illinois. I have been in Detroit for over eighteen months, and with Miss S. J. Clark had the great honor of bringing Christian ScienceAs Written:C. S. healing to Detroit.

Mrs Otis is the widow of a Methodist Minister a woman of refinement and education as well as honesty and integrity.

Thrown in the midst of malpractitioners and evildoersAs Written:evil doers she has maintained an allegiance to Truth, and a loyalty and devotion to yourself as a leader which are admirable. Her success in healing has been great. She writes me that she has written to you asking permission to enter the Sept. class. Not having had any reply, I fancy her letter, or possibly the reply must have miscarried. She is waiting anxiously and eagerly for your reply, and has I know worked hard to save the money necessary for a course of instruction, and will I feel sure rejoice the heart of her teacher.

We are now meeting with great encouragement in our work, and were delighted to see our Leader's face in the package of the new books which came yesterday.

Hoping that the day is not far distant when I too shall hear from your lips the "words of this Life"Acts 5:20 Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.

I am with great respect yours As Written: your's in the Truth
