Dear mind enlightener As Written: inlightener and friend of humanity

I have read one "Journal of Christian Science" NumberAs Written:No 10 handed me by Rev A.W. Jefferson of FranklinEditorial Note: Franklin, Massachusetts, who expressed a wish that I might know you and your wayEditorial Note: Christian Science!

Am well pleased with the paper and were I able would subscribe for it and send for your wonderful book "Science & Health"Editorial Note: Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy that is doing so much good enlightening and helping people to come to a better knowledge of All things

I have had heavy expenses, [?] Unclear or illegible to meet the past winter and spring, and have no money As Written: mony or I should try and come to see you, Was under the Dr Care nearly As Written: neary all the past winter, The past winter and spring have seemed As Written: seemd like a heavy black cloud which shrouded things in darkness, But now I see the silvery linings & know that "all things work together for good"Rom 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

After the night cometh the morn and I am only waiting for the dawn.

One thing I hope and expect to fully understand "How the soul flows into the human mind & throughAs Written:threugh this into the body and carriers with it the life it received from the Lord, where by the closest union it makes as it were the body to live"

If that statement is true (& I have no reason to doubt it) There is no need of so much sickness or what is called sickness.

Also if Life is what make it, and as we take it. If taken from the Lord it must become pure As Written: purier better & more perfect for He As Written: he is perfection and gives His As Written: his children the best there is to give.

Excuse the freedom I have taken in writing and believe me a friend to progression.
