She is a very pleasant christian woman- and belongs to one of the first families of this CityEditorial Note: Binghamton, New York- Her brother is a Druggist here- She and her husband went to BostonEditorial Note: Boston, Massachusetts last Fall (I believe) with the intention of studying with you, but by some chance, they called a Dr. Cullis first, and there heard such the reports of Christian ScienceAs Written:C. S. and yourself- that they returned without even going to the College- She went to Florida early in the Winter and Feb. 2nd she was telegraphed home on acct. of the sudden death of her husband at Worcester MassachusettsAs Written:Mass. In his trunk she found a copy of "Science & Health"Editorial Note: Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, and some notes or writings which show that he had again taken up Christian ScienceAs Written:C. S. and intended to study–

Of course that awakened a desire to carry out his plan so far as possible, by studying herself- She has now gone to an adjoining As Written: adjoing town to settle up her affairs preparatory to joining your Class, and taking up this work. She will be a strong influential person in this or any work- I hear that she was very successful in her work as an Electrician–

My first Class are doing good work- My second one, consisting of six, three Episcopalians, and two Baptists, (Baptists take to this as ducks take to water) are coming on finely, and feel that they have just learned how to live- I have another Class forming in another town near here, to begin soon as this is done– EveryoneAs Written:Every one seems so hungry for this truth.

Enclosed please find the handkerchief you so kindly loaned me, the day mine blew away- when in class- and excuse the long delay in sending- I quite overlooked it-
