| Editorial Title: | Julia S. Bartlett to Mary Baker Eddy, September 27, 1880 |
| Author: | Julia S. Bartlett |
| Recipient: | Mary Baker Eddy |
| Date: | September 27, 1880 |
Manuscript Description: Handwritten by Julia S. Bartlett on lined paper from Newburyport, Massachusetts. The
letter includes what appear to be archivist notes interpreting some words throughout
the letter.
Editorial Note: Bartlett says that she has received a letter from Eddy (not extant), and that she
is sorry that Eddy has formed such a false impression of her. She had written her
last letter to Eddy (not extant) hurriedly as she wanted to get it to the post office
in time to go out with the next mail. Most of the letter concerns Bartlett's financial
struggles. She is planning to study Christian Science with Eddy, and she wishes she
could pay the full fee of $300 (the equivalent of $7432.85 in 2015), because she knows
the benefit that will be gained from taking class. However, she feels she can pay
$100 (the equivalent of $2477.62 in 2015). Bartlett states that she wants to make
the practice of Christian Science her lifework, and that she is willing to deny herself
anything and go anywhere in order to do this. She will do it soon if she can support
herself. Her only desire for making money is to be able to use it to help others.
