Dear Mrs. Eddy.

A few days ago a friend gave me a June No. of your “Journal of Christian Science.” I feel interested in it, & would be pleased to have you send me a late No. will show it to friends. My mind is open to truth & I want to learn all I can about Mind Cure. Do you advocate, immortality in the flesh as Helen Wilmans does in her paper entitled “Women’s World”? We seem to be in the beginning As Written: begining of a new era which is emphatically ‘Woman’s Era’, & great things seem enwrapped for us in the future. We are on the verge of a spiritual Era wherein mind shall have supreme control of matter.

I send you the names of some people whom I think will be very much interested in your paper & method of cureEditorial Note: Christian Science thinking you would like to send them specimen copies. some of them are out of health.

Mrs. Ann E. Eaton

Mrs. William G. Strong

Yours very truly
