My dear Mrs. Babcock,

Your very interesting letterEditorial Note: See 520.56.007. has received prompt attention. In regard to the exclusive agency for my bookEditorial Note: Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy in San FranciscoAs Written:S.F. your letter comes too late. I have sent it to other applicants. But will be pleased to give you the agency also, and then will consolidate all the agencies in one after finding which one does the most for its circulation, alias, sells the most books I regret not having had your letter sooner, and then would have acceded As Written: acceeded to your request. Shall hope to hear from you soon. Will present the Publisher your request for Journals of Ch. Sci.

My certain sense of what is best for you, is this. Come to my College, join my next class and let me fit you for the establishment of a school of Metaphysical Healing, Christian Science. So many are opening schools wholly unqualified I have a strong desire to caution the Christian. Not that you are willing to work unprepared, by no means, but that a due preparation includes so much more than any student of mine are yet able to impart

Will fill any order for books you send. It will be well to send here for this is the headquarters and your order shall be sent promptly. We have sent books to the party named, every time they have been called for from the West they have been forwarded. The book Science and HealthEditorial Note: Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy is healing the most difficult cases of disease. My students use it as an aid to practice by having their patients read it and if it rouses strong chemicalizationEditorial Note: Chemicaliation is a term Mary Baker Eddy used to refer to a temporary stirring up of symptoms or process of “fermentation” as errors of various types are being destroyed. so much the more certain it is striking deeper at the root of disease than they have done. In which case, they treat the patient for the chemical and keep the patient reading this book until it cures them. Hundreds of just such cases occur

In haste
Most Truly
