You can imagine my surprise and chagrin As Written: shagrin to find our beloved Leader's letter in the New YorkAs Written:N. Y. American. You can testify As Written: tistify to the care I have used to submit every point new concerning our leader to P. V. and to be caught on this is humiliating but it will do much good in a way for it brings her out vividly and shows that she is not being cowed down by those around her. I have thought all the while that Wiggin actually undertook to help her diction although I understood that he was sometimes more of a hindrance As Written: hinderence than a help. I have heard Mrs. Eddy tell how he used totry to get her to modify her ideas. I believe now that she should see all of Wright's articleEditorial Note: John A. L. Wright wrote an article titled "How Rev. Wiggin Rewrote Mrs. Eddy's Book," published in the New York World. so she can see just what they are claiming. I have some time ago published other articles that, if I remember correctly, admit that Wiggin undertook to censor Mrs. Eddy's writings – some of them. It is a wonder I have not been corrected before.

Very Sincerely
