Dear Student:

Such a request as your letterEditorial Note: See 338AP1.46.007. contains surprises me! Such a ceremony might do for certain people, sects or simpletons, but that you could suppose for an instant I would do it is only another instance of folly that ill becomes a Christian Scientist. My sincere hope is that you make this Institute respectable and Christian in its influence that it be not a failure but success and you become worthy of the confidence I had in you.

Very sincerely your Teacher
(Signed) M.B.G. Eddy
