Lexington–
Kentucky–
August 10th 1886,
Will you be kind enough to pardon my troubling you to hand Mrs Eddy the enclosed note. An inward voice is urging me to do this, not that I expect any favors, but, to be sure. We think her rejection unjust & unmerited, & there are those who think there is underhanded work about it. Oblige me & kindly receive my gratitude-
