Mr. Geo. H. Kinter,
Concord, N.H.
Dear Mr. Kinter:-

I have just received your letter of the 7thEditorial Note: This letter is not extant.. It has come to me through two different parties that the matter pertaining to the Quimby question is to be published in a series of articles to appear in McClure's magazineEditorial Note: McClure's Magazine was a monthly American magazine founded in 1893 and credited with launching the era of "muckracking" journalism in the early 1900s. They published a series of articles, beginning with an introductory piece in December 1906, about Mary Baker Eddy and Christian Science, containing many inaccuracies and false statements..

I do not know anything about the Leslie matterEditorial Note: Possibly a reference to a request that Eddy had received to contribute to an article to Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly. See V04363.. It has also come to me this morning that Miss Georgine Millmine, with whom we had some dealings some time ago, and all of which was of the most kindly nature, had become convinced adversely As Written: adversly regarding our Leader and had decided to drop her out of her proposed book on famous women, or as one puts it– –a series of articles to appear in McClure's magazine.

I have thought the matter all out and have finally decided to submit it to Mr. Verrall and ask him to see Miss Millmine at once, assuring her that we do not believe the report, but yet felt it a duty to look into the matter. I have given him arguments to use and am trusting that he will be able to do it intelligently. It was a ticklish matter, and if she had been near enough I would have gone myself, but there are so many vicious things pouring in here just at this time, I scarcely dare leave the office a minute. While everything held up during my absence, they seem to be making up for it in good shape now; however, I can see that it is only hastening the end of this sort of work.

Yours sincerely,
Alfred Farlow
