ChicagoEditorial Note: Chicago, Illinois Aug 10 - 1885.
My Dear Teacher

I was very sorry to hear of the condition of the Journal - If I had as good a run of Business as I had in the Spring I could afford to be very generous with it - But it has been very dull with me this Summer. I feel that I have had a pretty severe scorching this Summer and for a few minutes at a time I have felt that I was not fit for this work and I might as well give it up - and then I would think it is the Truth and I will never give it up - everything will be all right sometime - I will be Patient and keep working. I am feeling much better now and I feel that my Business must improve soon. I think that ChemicalizationEditorial Note: “Chemicalization" is a term Mary Baker Eddy used to refer to a temporary stirring up of symptoms or process of “fermentation” as errors of various types are being destroyed. was an argument to me for me to stumble over - for I notice that my Patients do not trouble me now in that way- They do not seem to ChemicalizeEditorial Note: “Chemicalization" is a term Mary Baker Eddy used to refer to a temporary stirring up of symptoms or process of “fermentation” as errors of various types are being destroyed. at all since I wrote you about it, and I think that there was an argument that I would not write to you - I have been a good deal mixed at times (in belief) this Summer but there is one peculiarity about it that I have noticed after having a hard time, when I recover myself - I am clearer and have a better understanding than I had previous to it, and I hope that I shall be strong enough in my understanding soon to hold me - That seems to be the nature of the attacks now to darken and obscure my understanding and get me on the wrong scent - I would like to ask if one who is not up to you in ScienceEditorial Note: Christian Science or in advance of you can help you in these moral attacks? I have no Physical ones - I do not speak this way because I feel that I am advanced for these are times when I feel that there is no one but what is in advance of me -
