At the request of one J. B. Broadbent, I write to ask if you will take him into your next Primary class. He is an old gentl [?] Unclear or illegible eman of Sixty or more years, [?] Unclear or illegible has been a "MormanCorrected:Mormon preacher," untill Corrected: until Christian Science droped Corrected: dropped down at his door. Through C.S.Expanded:Christian Science and your Book S, & H.Editorial Note: Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy he has been healed of his false beliefs, a more devout Student you never had than Brother Broadbent in the study of "Science and Health"Editorial Note: Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy Since the study of your book which is now eighteen months- the Scripture [?] Unclear or illegible - has a new meaning to him, The unfolding of the one Mind with its simplicity is beautiful. I must give you an expression of his to me a day or two ago,- he said "I loved my Mother better than any woman on the Earth"- but since I have studdiedCorrected:studied Mrs Eddy's bookEditorial Note: Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, I now love her more than my Mother, Why? because through her teachings she has given me back my birth rightCorrected:birth-right," and, Oh! dont Corrected: don't I love her?" you will readily see the thought. He says I have much of the letter of christian Science, but not enough of the spirit, says that if he can go to you, he knows that you will see his need, and will lead him to a higher plane of thought, Then it will rest with himself wheather Corrected: whether he walks there. He has no means of his own- but feels confident that he can borrow the money- but before he speaks to the party, he wants to be sure that you will receive him into your next class, (he has never had any instructions only from Science & HealthEditorial Note: Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy,) says he must have some foundation to work upon, so that when he lays his case before this individual for the sum he wishes, that they will not refuse, O! the [?] Unclear or illegible  simple faith that he has, that the Father of All goodEditorial Note: God will give him the desire of his heartPs 37:4 Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. .

Could you dear let him know soon that he can make arrangements toward that end. Your reply can be sent to me and will be handed to him with love.

Now there is another thought I would like to put before you for consideration, a dear friend whose greatest desire at this time, is to sit at your feet and listen to those Divine words that leads us in the way of Life, Truth, and Love, one that loves you as dearly as your humble student loves you- and is trying to show her love by her works, though it be with bleeding heart. But what better am I, than our dear Leader? I know that I should rejoice in these persecutionsMatt 5:11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Matt 5:12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. , (But seemingly) the Thorn in the fleshII Cor 12:7 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. has probed so deep that it [?] Unclear or illegible has festered and will not heal, Can it be healed over before all error is wiped out? But I am straying from the thought that is before me. The dear friend that is mentioned, is My Mother, a very simple, in-offenciveCorrected:inoffensive woman, Will you take her and be as tender with her, as you were with me in my first lessons? Here is the thought for consideration can you wait upon me for her TutionCorrected:tuition, I will pay Just as soon as I can, I could not get the money for this Primary class, I have disliked to ask you this, and would not think of such a thing could I help it, but knowing the good she will receive besides helping her on with the desire to see you and receive what she wants is what leads me to enquire this of you. When do you have another class in obstetrics? should like so much to go to you then. I feel that I must come to yo Corrected: you before many moons go by-
