July. 11th. 1885.
I am very much interested in your works, entitled Science and HealthEditorial Note: Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, receiving instructions from my Aunt who was a scholar of one of your pupils, Miss Hill, by name I have been almost an invalid for several years, but have gradually improved in health since undertaking the study of metaphysics. But feel as though more light on the subject would be very acceptable, Please send me your pamphlets As Written: pamplets entitled Christian Healing and The Peoples God. Is there any monthly paper or pamphlet on the Science of Healing, published by yourself in BostonEditorial Note: Boston, Massachusetts, if there is please send me either a sample or the name and price as I wish to subscribe for it, Will you send your books on Science and HealthEditorial Note: Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy to any person, who will send the amount specified in the books.
P.S. Mrs Eddy it is two month since I commenced treatments for dyspepsia loss of strength and shortness of breath with an increased beating or palpitation which seems to be in the top part of my stomach, Every trace of dyspepsia has disappeared but I cannot make the belief of palpitation disappear, it is there all the time but increases with the least exertion, as walking or anything that requires action or strength, I have had chills and fever the greater part of my life, which accounts for my poor health, I am very successful in treating others, but cannot blot out that one belief.
Do you think that in the course of time it will disappear, if I am patient and adhere to my teachings.
I hope I have not passed beyond your rules in writing this, for I cannot think I have done wrong, if I have please excuse me, and oblige
