Your late interview with father seems to require a few words from me. To your call to spread the knowledge gained through Christian Science more rapidly I would most gladly respond. It is certainly my greatest desire to employ what talent I have in the interests of God's cause and for this end have been working.
As far as numbers are concerned, could have taught several more than I have done, but it has always been my aim to take no persons as students As Written: student's who, in my judgment, were unqualified, but I have and do stand ready to carry on the work as far as my ability will allow and opportunities offer; more than this have not waited for such opportunities but have sought them.
My price for tuition thus far has been fifty dollarsEditorial Note: $50.00 in 1886 is the equivalent of $1,556.68 in 2022., discounting for such individuals as felt unable to meet that sum, and giving gratuitous instruction where I couldn't do better.
Would you suggest a reduction in my terms? Any thoughts you have to offer will be most gratefully received and cheerfully complied with as far as lies in my power.
If it is your desire to introduce Mrs. Woodbury to this field as teacher I have no objection as it is my purpose to hold the cause of God paramount to all else.
Would say, right here, as the thought presents itself, that the letterEditorial Note: This letter is not extant. you thought was sent me some time ago was not received. The first knowledge I had of your plan was given the day Mrs. Woodbury called. This week finishes my instructions to present class. Have learned of two others who are agitating the subject of studying, a little nucleus around which shall hope to gather more.
