Dear Mrs. Eddy:–

Permit me to gratefully acknowledge the receipt of your very beautiful hymn, "Feed my sheep."Editorial Note: “Feed My Sheep” was first published on page 303 of the March 1887 issue of The Christian Science Journal. I can hardly expect to do full justice to the words, but at the first inspiration I will gladly try, and can only hope that I may succeed in expressing the Divine in music, as beautifully as you have done in poetry. I hope that somedayAs Written:some day I may be a member of one of your "Normal Classes"–

Meanwhile, I shall be keenly interested in the welfare and success of "Christian Science"

with high esteem, I am very Sincerely Yours As Written: Your's in "Christian ScienceAs Written:C.S."
