Beloved Student

Thanks for the letter that I receivedAs Written:rec'd duly, but company, all the time, has hindered me writing sooner.

You always interest me in what you write or talk. I wish I could see you oftener but I know of no patients to get you

I never go out into society and there are no gatherings of Christian Scientists here —

The summer is cool, and the shade trees friendly, that is about all I can say of dear, kind, old Concord. Wherever we are, God is, and that is all I can hope for here.

Thanks for the news from my sonEditorial Note: This is likely a reference to the birth of Mary Baker Eddy’s grandson, Andrew Jackson Glover on July 4, 1891.. Besides digging into the bowels of the earth he seems interested to "multiply and replenish it"Gen 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

I got the dear child into my class of Christian Science in 1881, but he only took one lesson, I could not induce him to go on.

With love to your wife

I am ever Yours in Christ
