My very dear Student,

I do regret that you are not with us you could do so much good as a teacher – and to form Students' C. S. A'sEditorial Note: Christian Scientists in communities at this time were sometimes forming local Christian Scientist Associations as branches of the Christian Scientist Association in Boston, Massachusetts from which to send up delegates to the National C. S. A.

Now do you remember that you suggested the possibility that mental malpractice. had kept you from going to the N. Y. Convention? If so, it is the same at work .to keep you from the Normal Class and I am persuaded that it is. But remember, if you speak of this and the one who does it should hear of it, that he or she would take you up to make you think it was not them. Watch that you do all you can in the direction that God gives, and make it a point to guard any interference by a law of your own mind. I hope your lovely sister will be well enough to join my next class–Give my love to your brother– Best regards to your husband a kiss for each dear child and

I am as ever lovingly yours
