Dear Mrs Eddy,

I have kept my interest in you and your work a little above par - ever since I called upon you in Jan, and you so kindly gave me your valuable booksEditorial Note: Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. I took seventeen treatments of Mrs Marshall while in WorcesterEditorial Note: Worcester, Massachusetts and my sister is now taking of Mrs Leavitt. I have by no means got my liberty which I so greatly desire -

I am better but my old beliefs stick to me worse than burrs in the Summer to my dresses - I have used no medicine of any kind since I began the mind cure - and no one knows how anxious I am to be well. I have read what Cook - Gordon and others have said also your reply to them - I think you are not only very kind but very wise in inviting ministers to your lectures free of expense - for after the training of Yale & Andover - I can see how difficult it is for them to get hold of your ideas correctly without your explanation. I ask myself so often - shall I even get my liberty -

My husband He is a Yale man who is the CongregationalistAs Written:Congre'ist minister of this place takes his vacation next month. He usually spends a part of it in BostonEditorial Note: Boston, Massachusetts - and I very much wish (so does he) that he could so plan as to attend your next course -

Would you let me know when your next course commences - and if he could avail himself of the privilege of attending all or a part of it.

Wishing you success in your great work -

Respectfully -
