Mrs. Eddy,

I wrote you a few days agoEditorial Note: See 006A.05.001. making some inquiries concerning your classes. I have since been told that those who take the normal course will not be allowed to teach until after six months' As Written: months practice.

If this is true I choose rather to take the Primary course.

However I am willing to abide your judgment after class. Please inform me whether I shall be allowed to teach at once, if in your judgement after class I seem fit. I only desire to teach one or two small classes at present and not at all if not qualified As Written: quallified to do so. This is as clear as I can express my desire. If you can understand me will you please write me at once-?

It seems that those who have been to you ought to know these things but they do not all tell the same story. I can guess myself but if it is possible to know anythingAs Written:any thing definiteAs Written:definate I would like very much to be informed. All the BeatriceEditorial Note: Beatrice, Nebraska Students are anxious for me to go to Mrs. Eddy. We have been pulled and hauled around till we hardly know where we do stand and we want to get our bearings. Mrs. Watts is out of the city delivering a course of lectures. I sent her the blank with a request to fill and send to you. An early reply will greatly oblige

Yours in Truth
Alfred Farlow

P. S.

They are a little slow, in belief, here but will get awakened before long. I have had a great many patients among the negroesAs Written:negros and they seem to yield to the Truth more readily than the "white trash"

My brother is at work in NebraskaAs Written:Nebr.

I have sold most of the dozenAs Written:doz. booksEditorial Note: Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy.
