Mrs Carpenter said to me only yesterday that it came to her that I ought to write to you.

All I can say to you is that I would rather lose all I have on earth than to willingly or innocently commit that great crime of crimes Mental Malpractice against my best friend - yourself, any of your students, or even my enemies. I would rather God would strike me dead if that were possible than to do such a thing. If I am committing such a crime I feel certain I should know it for I am daily asking God to keep me awake that I be not decieved Corrected: deceived by error and that I may work only through Divine love.
