Dear Madam;

I have just finished your book on "Science and Health"Editorial Note: Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy and feel as if it had opened up a new life to me- If by your teaching I could regain my health I should like to enter your College and learn to heal others-

What are your terms, and what is one required to know to enter?

Must any examinations be passed to enter, and how long is the course?

I am just twenty-threeAs Written:twenty three years old, have been brought up in the midst of WashingtonEditorial Note: Washington, D.C. society and led a gay artificial life which I have never liked and since reading your bookEditorial Note: Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy most heartily despise and intend to give it up forever- For five years or more I have suffered with inflammation As Written: inflamation and falling of the womb, and constant headaches. I have been treated during that time by the most eminent physicians both here and in BostonEditorial Note: Boston, Massachusetts, and am far worse than when I began treatment, if I could only have known of Metaphysical Healing when I was in Boston last winter I feel sure I should be a perfectly well woman now- I first heard of it through a lady here who has been completely cured- Can you not help me? and if you cannotAs Written:can not, will you not give me the address of someoneAs Written:some one who can? I believe most firmly in all that you teach in your bookEditorial Note: Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy and shall rea d it over and over again. I am already better since I read it, but not cured- I am conscious of pain while I sleep–
