For two or three years rumors had been coming to us to the effect that McClures 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. was to publish a series of articles referring to our Leader. Since Miss Milmine, who was gathering the data for this, did not visit any of the Christian Scientists but did visit the enemies of this ScienceEditorial Note: Christian Science we mistrusted that the article would be prejudiced, and through friends of those connected with the office and by scientific mental work have managed to keep the thing out of print. A few days ago Robert McClure, son of the proprietor of the Magazine, on being questioned confirmed a more recent rumor reiteratint Corrected: reiterating the McClure's intention to publish the articleEditorial Note: McClure's Magazine ended up publishing 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. which we have already described.

On Saturday I visited McClures office in New YorkEditorial Note: New York, New York and had a long interview with the new editor, Mr. Witter Binner. He is a bright young fellow, with a good face. He admitted that they had data on hand that was calculated to go into a long story of "fFamous wWomen of America." He declared that the data was biased and unsatisfactory to them. He said that they had placed it in the hadnds of a Mr. Sullivan who had recently been taken into the office from the staff of tThe Ladies Home Journal Mr. Binner promised me faithfully that if they used the matter Mr. Sullivan would wait upon me and permit me to censor the article. If it comes into my hands I will try to pass it along to you if it needs your attention.
