My dear Student,

Your circular is before me I notice the quotations from S. & H.Editorial Note: Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. That are without quotation marks! That must be corrected. If one student does this all will take the same liberty.

Now taking what is not ours is not less wrong because it is the fruit of mind labor, than if it was money earned by our hands. SomeoneAs Written:Some one has said justly that to take the property of an author is the most egotistical stealing”. - My dear student, I am not saying or supposing that you intended to do this for I cannot think that you did. I only refer to the crime as our U.S. Laws deal with it. I am rejoiced at the good news I hear of you, and if I can assist you any way in my line shall be pleased to do it. Press on in the right and God will bless and prosper you and this will be in His own good way whether by the rod or the reward

Ever yours affectionatelyAs Written:affct
