| Accession: | 581.60.010 |
| Editorial Title: | Lizzie B. Twombly to Mary Baker Eddy, November 24, 1882 |
| Author: | Lizzie B. Twombly |
| Recipient: | Mary Baker Eddy |
| Date: | November 24, 1882 |
Manuscript Description: Handritten by Lizzie B. Twombly on stationery printed with a kitten in the upper left
hand portion and sent from Somerville, Massachusetts.
Editorial Note: Twombly writes to Mary Baker Eddy that she doesn't understand how she could have so
mistaken what Eddy said to her. She believes that Eddy told her that Twombly and her
friend could study with Eddy for one third of Eddy's usual fee of $300.00 ($7,568.87
in 2016). She doesn't see how she could find four students to bring to Eddy as it
would be very difficult to find four persons interested enough to pay Eddy's fee.
She does not see how she and her friend could pay over $50.00 ($1,261.48 in 2016).
They have been saving their money, intending to study with Clara E. Choate. They thought of borrowing the money but gave up that thought as they felt it would
worry and trouble them too much. Twombly feels she must gain the understanding of
Christian Science, of which, up to now, she feels she has only gotten a taste. She
would like to know when Eddy's next class will commence. (Twombly was in Eddy's class
that began on January 22, 1883.)
