How dare they pretend to teach Christian Science when they cannot practice it?

How wicked and how ungrateful for your great and loving kindness- I cannot understand such a nature as would be capable of such ingratitude. After all that had been done for Mrs. H- she should have been willing to have served you and the cause for the remainder of her earth life.

Dear lady I thank you for your kind offer to wait for half of my tuition and shall anxiously await your summons to come-
