My dear Mr Wiggin

I have finished the proofreadingAs Written:proof reading on my part. You have done your task well, faithfully. God will reward you better and wiser than we know of.

Now allow me to say. When, if ever, you have a return of your complaints — fix your mind steadfastly on this thought. No mortal mind, or malice, can affect my mind or body. Be strong in that consciousness of Truth and if you gain the point of conviction of its truth, and the perception that it was a directed shaft of mortal mind, you will destroy the suffering. Mr. Frye thought of you thus, after you told him of your suffering, and it disappeared

I want to see you to talk about arrangements for the "Christian Science Journal". Also I give you a cordial invitation to enter gratuitously my next class — after the HolidaysAs Written:Hollidays. Please say nothing of this. Dr. Gifford, who was in my last class, came [*]Archival Note: A series of metamarks that look like Xs appear at this point in the manuscript. to me at its close and gave me blest words of encouragement

Very truly
