I wish to get some information regarding the cost it will be to receive instruction in the Christian ScienceAs Written:C. S. as I have been an invalid for several years, and have been attended by Dr. Wickersham, who has now left ChicagoEditorial Note: Chicago, Illinois for DenverEditorial Note: Denver, Colorado, and though I received great benefit from him I am far from what I would like to be, and think if the expense is not too great that if I could join your classes I shall be much more benefitedAs Written:benefitted.

Please give me the lowest rate you can make, and also what should I have to pay for Board, and if it can be obtained at or near your College as I am unable to walk without assistance.

I have been sick for five years, since I was twenty; but never received any help until I met Dr. Wickersham, who has been very kind and for whom I hold a great respect.

How long a time shall I be required to remain? I shall not be able to go until Spring, for my Father (who is traveling) expects to make his Eastern trip in March, as he comes home from California Deo volenteAs Written:D. V. at that time.

I wish to gain all particulars so I can let him know before he returns.

I cannot afford to make the trip unless you think it will benefit me.

I have your booksEditorial Note: Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy and also subscribe for the C. S. Journal.

Yours very Respectfully.
