I have written Mrs. Eddy several times and feel ashamed to take so much of her time and since you so kindly told me you would answer any questions I wished to ask. I shall impose a few upon you. I am very anxious to enter Mrs Eddy's Normal class when she has one- if she is willing can you ask her what she thinks of the matter and inform me when she will commence another Class if She decides in my favor. I am so anxious to have a normal student in Denver because so many go to the other schoolEditorial Note: This may be a reference to Warren Felt Evans and the New Thought movement. we had three from the other schoolEditorial Note: This may be a reference to Warren Felt Evans and the New Thought movement. in the class and they seemed not to understand Mrs Eddy at all until Mr Sherman explained to them. We certainly are on a firmer basis now as our associationEditorial Note: This refers to the Denver, Colorado branch of the Christian Scientist Association in Boston, Massachusetts. numbers 72 I believe or nearly so we have been very careful about admitting members and hope everythingAs Written:every thing will continue as harmonious as now. The cures are remarkable, that are reported at each meeting. I think Mr. Sherman must be a very rare teacher for he seemed to handle his class so well and they have proven that they understand from their demonstrations I will have Mrs. Eddies letter read at the next association or meeting And we will apply for membership to the National C. S. A. – Is Mr. Wickersham an authorized As Written: authorised teacher? (if this is a proper question please answer if not I shall not be offended) He has never told me that he wished to teach. but he is the only pupil of Mrs. E.'s in Denver.

With love to Mrs. Eddy regards to yourself I remain

Yours in Truth
Minnie B. Hall

There is a mistake in Mrs. E.'s new addition of Science & Health on page 304 in writers instead of readers. if she wishes to know of it. I happened to see it this morning while reading- Don't tell her unless it is proper.

Yours M. B. H.
