Since writing the last which I was afraid As Written: affraid to send for fear you might some way put a misconstruction to what I meant instead of what was written I had a chance to read your 2 Vols of Science and HealthEditorial Note: Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy.

I think the reason that I have taken it in so quickly is because there was so few isms to get rid of. I was treated for a scrofula As Written: scroffular bunch on my throat when about 16 by a clairvoyant As Written: clairevomet and saw through that, and made that answer for all of them in a lump as humbugs of some sort without bothering about them

Aunties ankle is just the least less painful and her disposition improving. I heard from the ½ sister of Mothers last night and I’ve not written to them either, that they were anxious to hear from me that Alma was better so she could come out to her meals with her cane. Your sermons I hastily read and some of the students of Mrs Leavitts class are reading them but I shall study them when they get around and I also read one “Trust in the Infinite”. My work from B. is at a standstill As Written: stand still , my friends think or I should better say Auntie thinks I’m so foolish to read so much when I need money so much, we never did apparently need it so much but it is all right I know some way I suppose you see that I am fearful or lacking in courage but oh I believe it all Will the courage or trust come?

It will be 2 or 3 weeks before I get my suits done and then I shall send to you for your Science & HealthEditorial Note: Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. so I may have them for my own for I know that I need them.

It seems to me that it is the most valuable thing that has ever been given to the world for health is the greatest blessing we enjoy although we think the least of it in health, 4 yrs. of pain are enough to make me appreciate it and I am so grateful I would help others if I could and that as yet is a mystery away off here on the hills as I am. My father came here from Worcester with a severe dizzy headache from staying in the close court room sat night to be carried home by my husband I treated him according to directions and I really think he was much better able to go home alone thank the horse that carried him who of course after a hard day’s As Written: days work was very tired to start out for a 4 mile drive.

I am trying to help an Uncle in Leominster he is in consumptionEditorial Note: tuberculosis diarrhea As Written: diareah and weak and coughs so he cannot As Written: can not sleep good. I hope to hear he is better. It seems so strange that we may influence other people when they are ignorant of it

But I reason to myself that it’s As Written: its because there really is but one mind and one reflection changes another the same as the sun shining on a bright surface brightens some other like substance have I got the correct idea. I never wanted an education so much as now it seems as if it would be a great help to comprehend but perhaps not I am bound to be or try to be satisfied with my lot. I can see how the trials have helped me to see into this and perhaps they are better than learning, and I have now all blessings but those that money brings and perhaps if I had that I should not make a good use of it so I am trying to think it is all right some way if I can’t see it

My fingers are cold and I am making this so long I’ll say

Goodbye until As Written: untill I send for the books except in thought for I certainly shall never cease to think of you in connection with or rather as at variance with disease
