CONCORD, New HampshireAs Written:N. H. March 25
Beloved Student

I notice with surprise a question that I had forgotten— (surprise that I forgot it)— namely Will I send the date of my birth? I really dislike to, since I was never born and my BookEditorial Note: Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy forbids this record. You see it is a matter difficult to adjust. My latest husband in a humorous way gentle but firm as his character, declined to answer legal authority on this question, and finally the magistrate laughed and gave it up. What do you think of answering what tacitly admits what we know is untrue?
