Ellen Brown
March 5, 1886As Written:'86.
My dear Student.

Yours just received. The booksEditorial Note: Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy have been sent. Am glad you have found out that the action of a weather vaneAs Written:weathervein is no better for a cause, than the battle-axeAs Written:battle axe of an open enemy, I have proven this true long ago.

The other one is ousted. I shall not teach spies when I am duly warned.

Now do not speak of this matter of Hammond to the ShemansEditorial Note: Bradford Sherman, Roger Sherman, and Martha E. Sherman, for I had asked Mr.— B. Sherman's interest in this matter before I named it to anyoneAs Written:any one else. I felt it was due to him for the good work he has done, You know I said to you when you named Hammond for a candidate to take charge of an Institute, not College, that I doubted his fitness, in all but learning.

I want a learned Teacher, and a firm, honest character to take the head of a Chicago Institute.

Lovingly Yours
M.B.G.E.

Have not time to answer the questions of my correspondents and am trying to find a clerk to do it

— M.B.G.E.

Have a student partly engaged to stay with me, Will if I like her.

A true copy attest
Calvin A. Frye.
