I have not been aware As Written: a ware that you ever held the argument that the idea Man contained any intelligence whatever As Written: what ever . But then you must know that when you first read your ManuscriptsAs Written:Mss to me it could have been nothing more than an opinion or knowledge of the thing so it is not at all surprising to me to see that I have forgotten how they were written. And then Mary Baker Eddy you know that after we have come to the Wisdom of a certain Point, our knowledge is gone and we forget that we were ever in the dark.
