⇉ Handshift:Ellen B. DietrickDear Mrs. Eddy;–

I have recently become a subscriber to the "Christian Science Journal" and am deeply impressed with the accounts of the wonderful cures constantly taking place amongst your pupils.

In the last JournalEditorial Note: The March 1886 issue of The Christian Science Journal. a correspondent writes, "Give the world what knowledge you have, and the world will know what to do with it."Editorial Note: This quotation is in an article by “Inquirer,” titled “Secret Knowledge.” It is on page 225 of the March 1886 issue of The Christian Science Journal. This has emboldened me to write and ask if you will not, for Christ's sake, give some of your knowledge of healing to benefit an excellent, but absolutely penniless, Christian woman here in Covington. She has been for several years a terrible sufferer from a running sore in her head, just over the eyebrowAs Written:eye-brow. Christ has blessed you with this wondrous gift of healing will you not in this extreme case, do as He ever did with the poor who came to Him, give lavishly as God gives? Please let me hear from you at your earliest convenience,

Very sincerely yours
