My Dear Mrs Eddy

I am most desirous of being one of your next class, particularly so if it should be the last of September or later, but fear I could not leave here before then. Could you please let me know as soon as you conveniently can, when your next class will be so I can make arrangements accordingly. I am in hopes my Husband can come with me; also would be pleased to be in the same class with Miss Wiltsee who is a most lovely woman from here, who is in hopes she can join your next class, but will most certainly, if possible come, if I have to come alone should you let me join your class.

I must mention the Christian Science Church here which has held two services and they are the greatest treat I ever had. I only hope Mr Day's preaching may benefit all that are struggling to lead a life of Truth (those who have never had a course of lectures, such as I) as much as I have been benefited As Written: benefitted in only two sermons.

Dear Mrs Eddy, words are inadequate to express my gratitude for the benefits to my health, happiness and a desire to continually lead a better life, that I have received by simply reading your magnificent book, Science and HealthEditorial Note: Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy.

Please pardon my taking so much of your valuable time.

I am the youngest daughter of Mrs A H Harvey, who was in your class the past April, which I trust will be sufficient recommendation.

With Gratitude
Mrs' F. D. Snider.
