Miss Emma A. Estes
Your letter of recent dateEditorial Note: See 274.41.006. was received As Written: rec'd by Mrs. Eddy. In regard to the parties referred As Written: refered to in your letter, Mrs. Plunkett was in a class at this College in Sept '85 During its session she was working to her utmost, to break up the class and prejudice the members against Mrs. Eddy, and wound up her effort by coming to the College after the class finished and abused Mrs. Eddy. She paid $200Editorial Note: $200.00 in 1885 is the equivalent of $6,282.52 in 2023. for her tuition. Mrs Hopkins was boarding here at the time until last few days of class, and we were informed afterward, by members of the class, that she was working with Mrs. Plunkett secretly. Neither of these ladies have taken the Normal course and are not competent teachers of Christian Science.
If you wish further information regarding Mrs. P. inquire As Written: enquire of B. Sherman C.S.B. # 53 N. Ada St. Chicago.
We send you this to forewarn you; but Mrs. Eddy says you must not mention it as she does not hold to returning evil for evilI Pet 3:9 Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing. .
For Mrs. Eddy.
