Dear Mrs. Eddy,

I have heard your book entitled “Science & Health”Editorial Note: Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. very highly spoken of, and tried to find it when last in Boston, but did not succeed. Will you tell me where I can get this bookEditorial Note: Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. and what is the price of it?

In an indirect way, I heard of a lady in New BedfordEditorial Note: New Bedford, Massachusetts, who was cured of a Chronic nervous disease by simply reading the above mentioned bookEditorial Note: Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy., & it of course astonished me. Will you Kindly tell me if you are or have been one of the “Mental Healers” and if you treat as Dr. Arens does. I am deeply interested in the “Science”Editorial Note: Christian Science and it seems to me As Written: tome the only true way of treating all manner of diseases.

I am anxious to see this New ScienceEditorial Note: Christian Science spreading through the length & breadth of the Country, and more intelligent workers are necessary to do the work. It seems a great pity for so many half-way men & women to get into the ranks, for unless talent and brains are used at the Commencement of such a great undertaking, it will be likely to fade gradually into oblivion as many of the grand schemes have done, for want of proper material to push the work before the people.

I know but little of this grand subject, but sufficient to prove to use the truth of it, and someday As Written: some day I hope to be able to understand more than we now know of the power of the mind over the body.

Please let me hear from you as soon as convenient and believe me

Very truly YoursAs Written:Yrs.
