Your sweet letterEditorial Note: This letter is not extant. at hand. O! what a neglect not to answer so important a question! But I am daft with business.

Am in hopes I can meet sometime such important calls in this field, but never can until I have an assistant in my school. This I must have and know that I can do more good by getting more time for other work. So of two evils it is choosing As Written: chosing the least to do this, and I will thoroughly oversee the teaching and give the most important lessons to my class

O how I wish your husband (how funny that reads) was ready to lecture on Christian ScienceAs Written:C. S. He would be a success Tell him, with my love, he must hurry up, ask him where he puts Soul in his conversations!

It is an utter impossibility for me to leave home to lecture, have denied many calls already. I am not doing for my church a tithe of what is needed Your. meetings are dull; But I want a prayer somewhere in them? I cannot say dear whether or not I can preach while you are here in public, but will do some private preaching to you without doubt

Lovingly to my faithful student
