⇉ Handshift:Kate L. MorseOmahaEditorial Note: Omaha, Nebraska. Sept. 16. 1885—
Pardon me for intruding upon your valuable time. but I am constrained by the laws of common humanity, and a limited knowledge of the blessed religion Christian Science. to address you.
I am a BostonEditorial Note: Boston, Massachusetts woman, thoughAs Written:tho' an alien some sixteen years. Since my residence West. I have made many visits to my old home. And what prompts me now. to write you, is a desire to go back, and learn all I can of the art of healing, as demonstrated by your school.
At the same time. I am an invalid, thoughAs Written:tho' one would never suspect such to be the case, as to all outward appearances, I am in perfect health.
One year ago. in my left breast, was noticed an unnatural growth, which grew to be quite a lump. accompanied with a heavy aching. I went to Iowa, and staid two months with the Magnetic Healer. who relievedAs Written:releived me wonderfully, reducing the lump, and tuning up my general health. but after. that time. the treatment failed, I think I was magnetically stronger than the healer, and so failed to receive benefit.
During my absence from home, the subject, Christian Science, came under my attention. and after reading and thinking much came to the conclusion, that I must be healed, Then enter the field as a seeker, so I could work as a healer. If I can be made whole by this God giving treatment, it will be the aim of my life. to go into the highways and byways. relievingAs Written:releiving and cheering, thus showing my gratitude to t his Higher will, that controls. Will you, Through your secretary, give me the information I desire; Can I be cured of this trouble in my breast. by receiving a course of lectures? Has a similar case ever been cured under such treatment? What would be the least expense that would carry me (with limited means) through a course of Metaphysical Healing lectures? Could I teach. or in a clerical way, reduce my expenses during the course?—
I am convinced by Divine revelationAs Written:revalation, that I must enter this great work. I have considerable power to relieveAs Written:releive pain and have used it to good effect, with many.
Can furnish best of references both here, and in Boston. I have a brother. (Mr Lee. of Lee and Shepard Publishers) there.
Would be pleased to hear from you immediately. Hoping the Divine principles of Christian Science, may be scattered broad cast throughout the land.
Very Respectfully
