My dear Mrs. Eddy.

Isn’t it strange that I was the only one in the class who got a brief outline of your life and its vicissitudes, and that probably I am the only one who needed to know that much in your defense. But it is all right, and I have never been tempted to doubt you or the scienceEditorial Note: Christian Science. I am peculiarly situated, and must try to be very judicious in all I do or say, for my husbands business depends largely on the M.D.’s, but if one has to suffer from the other, it must be business before ScienceEditorial Note: Christian Science every time.

Your personal attention. I hope to have some cures to report to you soon. I am certainly in earnest in this work, and see no reason why I shall not meet with success. Please accept the love of your devoted student
