BostonEditorial Note: Boston, Massachusetts, March 18. 1886
Dear Mr Wiggin,

I want to tell you my difficulties As Written: difficultis with the BookEditorial Note: Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy.

Mr. Wilson promised to have this edition ready on Mond. last — it is now Thursday and not one book! Today have been turning off people who have called for them all day, Strangers in town and wanting them before they left

If I get the books tomorrow I shall have on hand but about 200 copies while I am waiting for the next edition of 1000 Books. Already about 300 copies are sold and not one of the present edition delivered.

The enemy is doing thisMatt 13:27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? Matt 13:28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? , I know it, and yet humanity ought to be enough humane to deal squarer with me

I am getting cross, worn As Written: worne out with this continued conflict, and yet a Communion service that I must attend for my Church next Sunday. O for the sweet peace I so much need

Yours truly
M B G Eddy
