Mrs. M. B. G. Eddy -
Dear Madam:

I had been sick for several years and last Feb. 2 heard accidentally of the Christian ScientistsAs Written:scientists now at work in ChicagoEditorial Note: Chicago, Illinois. I immediately wrote to one Miss Ellen Brown for your book Science and HealthEditorial Note: Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. I have been deeply interested in it from the first and greatly benefited in health

In fact I have not taken one dose of medicine since the first day I began this study, and prior to that time I scarcely knew how to live one day without medicine of some kind. Now my greatest desire is to be enabled to do something for those I see suffering around me and I now write to you for some advice. I suppose of course it is necessary to attend a metaphysical college to receive the proper instruction.

Will you please write me what the expenses are for the college term including board also what is the best time to enter

By doingAs Written:do-ing so you will greatly oblige your Friend in the CauseEditorial Note: Christian Science
