I should have gone on at once if I had been able they told me that you sometimes took students free of charge when you know they were not able to pay. I am not able to pay anythingAs Written:any thing at present but if I should learn the ScienceEditorial Note: Christian Science and should realize As Written: realazie anythingAs Written:any thing from practicing it I would feel it my duty to pay you as fast as I could. Could you teach me by correspondence As Written: corospondence ? if you could it would be most convenient for many reasons, the most important of which I am very hard of hearing. I suppose however the first thing you would do would be to cure me of my deafness.

I am in hopes the reading of your bookEditorial Note: Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy will cure me of my deafness I am very anxious to try it I hope to hear from you soon
