Mrs Eddy
My Dear Madam

I wanted very very much to have a few minutes' As Written: minutes talk with you, in regard to treating people for belief in sickness–

I have taken no lessons as yet of anyoneAs Written:any one, and do not wish to err in any way regarding scienceEditorial Note: Christian Science.

I have treated one man who had belief of Bright's As Written: Brights disease incurable, was taking morphine in order to sleep– but left it off and slept better after one treatment than for three months, before.

He called on me this morn and told me he was much better than he expected ever to be.

A lady who had incessant headache with thought of cancer in the head of which her mother died, I gave a treatment and a week after she told me had, had no headache.

There is a case of pilesEditorial Note: hemorrhoids another of loss of motion and here and there cases given up by Doctors– Can I, shall I venture to declare the supremacy of God – The power of Truth to destroy error.

I now present my name as a student for the first class you may instruct after your vacation, which will probably come in September I have been troubled with dyspepsia and sick headacheAs Written:head ache but have had none of either for some time–

But I feel impelled to do for others, yet do not want to go wrong and injure the causeEditorial Note: The cause of Christian Science., in which my spirit rejoices and rests.

The name of Francis E AbbotEditorial Note: A book by Francis Ellingwood Abbot is discussed in an article titled “Scientific Theism” by Phare Pleigh (James Henry Wiggin) in the May 1886 issue of The Christian Science Journal. whose name I see in my last magazine receivedAs Written:recd today, seems like the finding of a long-lost As Written: long lost friend as I took the Index for several years.

Silent– yet positive denial of error by truth will triumph over beliefs – will it not?

Please tell me if I shall go on, and in Christ's As Written: Christs name cast out error. and belief in matter.

Shall I do it as a free offering?

Mrs F. J. Stetson was not at home so missed seeing her:

Dear Mrs Eddy, I know that science is more than the assent of the intellect to certain expressions of thought.

It must be the Spirit giving health and life: Supremacy of Spirit.

God has always blest His own, As the scales fall we recognize his guiding.–

AffectionatelyAs Written:Affc yours

Mrs. M. O. Royal
