My dear Mr. Hammond,

It was my intention to do just as I promised, say nothing of your intention until the time for publishing the notice.

But I mistook the Sabbath and gave out my notices for Communion one week too soon

I was asked who would speak but replied ― I cannot say until the time comes and then by mistake let it out. Never mind, "Whatever is, is right", if the intention is right and we improve by the blunder.

One thing I wish to name. I called on Mr. Perry (Lawyer) and was astounded at his manner. Had sent him my booksEditorial Note: Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy (a gift) Col. Smith said he seemed very pleased with the present. It is as usual the interference As Written: inteference of my subtle enemies ― Kennedy and Arnes telling falsehoods. Now as you know him I ask of you this personal favor. Please drop into his office and come carelessly to the topic of me as an individual, then name what you know of me and the falsehoods uttered. Especially the organized effort, as I have named it to you.

I never make the acquaintance of a person but one of the aforesaid gets their falsehoods through other parties into their As Written: thir mind. You can name the infringement case as cause, and Mr. J. L. S. Roberts as reference. I can't employ him he is so crusty and I have not found a lawyer I like better. I hope I shall see you next Friday at the College 7 o'clockAs Written:o clock Was sorry not to meet you yesterday. Come dear Student into the church and build yourself up with it. God is a very great good and you are the object of His love I am always sure you will do as you tell me
