| Editorial Title: | Fannie M. Silsbee to Mary Baker Eddy, December 13, 1883 |
| Author: | Fannie M. Silsbee |
| Recipient: | Mary Baker Eddy |
| Date: | December 13, 1883 |
Manuscript Description: Handwritten by Fannie M. Silsbee on lined paper from Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Editorial Note: Silsbee tells Mary Baker Eddy of her great desire to go to Boston and be taught Christian
Science by Eddy. She has been taught by "Dr. Sherman" (probably Bradford Sherman) and has no fault to find with him, but she says that she will not be satisfied until
she can learn from Eddy herself. She wants to make Christian healing her lifework.
She asks if Eddy might reduce her fee for class, due to Silsbee's financial condition.
Silsbee writes that she is a widow and so is entirely dependent on her work for her
living, but she still does charity work to help those less fortunate. She also asks
about places where she could find room and board in Boston while taking class, and
says she can be prepared to go to Boston as early as the first week in January 1884.
She asks that Eddy write to her soon. A notation on the letter says that it was answered
on December 17, 1883. (Silsbee studied with Mary Baker Eddy in a class that began
on February 25, 1884.)
