My dear Mrs Eddy.

Having gone through one of Mrs Fenn's first classes I should greatly desire to enter your next Normal Class if it would be agreeable to you. Having learned of the Truth myself I should like to show and enlighten others who are diligently seeking the Light.

I am sure my teacher Mrs Fenn would give you a recommendation if you wish it; however I am sorry that you require it but nevertheless I know it is necessary for even in my small experience I see how "thieves and robbers enter not by the door into the sheepfold, but climb up some other wayJohn 10:1 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. but dear Mrs Eddy can you not say with Our MasterEditorial Note: Jesus Christ "My sheep hear my voice and I know them and they follow me I give unto them eternal life and they shall never perish neither shall any man pluck them out of My hand.John 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: John 10:28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

Will you kindly let me know if you will grant me the privilege of attending for which I would know not how to express my thanks

Yours forever in the Truth
