I dictated a few lines to you yesterday in answer to your letterEditorial Note: See L15918., but by mistake it was not written out. I submitted your question to Mr. Armstrong and you have doubtless heard from him by this time. Following your suggestion I have tried to notice Peabody's stuffEditorial Note: After losing the Woodbury suit, Peabody delivered a lecture speaking out against Eddy at Tremont Temple. It was published in pamphlet form as A Complete Exposé of Eddyism or Christian Science and the Plain Truth in Plain Terms Regarding Mary Baker G. Eddy. Eddy's lawyers and others believed he was trying to provoke another libel suit, and so urged caution in responding to Peabody's allegations. as little as possible, and as he did not make a direct statement in the BostonEditorial Note: Boston, Massachusetts press and the insinuation was so contemptible I thought best not to notice it. There were a number of points in his tirade which I did not take up. After the Boston Journal and TranscriptEditorial Note: Boston Evening Transcript had sent reporters to me I felt it wise that I should go ahead and answer somewhat in the other papers. It was really a hard problem for me, so difficult to know what Mother would have us do with it, since in times past she had charged me so particularly to denounce these lies. If you will want anything further done with it kindly instruct me.

Sincerely yours,
Alfred Farlow
