I know you will forgive your little one when you read this.

I was like the little girl who wrote a letter to Jesus when you lived in BostonEditorial Note: Boston, Massachusetts. When she went to address her letter she was perplexed at first, then wrote Kingdom of Heaven, then Boston. MassachusettsAs Written:Mass. I wanted to write to God.

Was not God hidden from me until you lifted the veil so that I could see Him? You showed me that man had never been separated from God.

Did I know anythingAs Written:any thing of God before God gave us Science and HealthEditorial Note: Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy throughAs Written:thro' you? Are you not "taking the things of God" and showing them to your children? God is not separate from the wisdom He bestows throughAs Written:thro' you.

I learned from Science and Health that if we accept the fact that man is God's image and likeness (reflection) we will see he is perfect harmonious, and immortal now. holding this in thought all the time, the real man will be manifested, appear, and the illusion that man is flesh, subject to sin, sickness and death will fade out. I can work from no other standpoint, every thoughtAs Written:tho't has to bow to this.

"God and His reflection" what a glorious thought that the harmony of the universe has never been disturbed and never will be. Thank God for that gift to humanity – "Science and Health" which contains the "Scientific Statement of Being."

Wake up, mortals, Your deliverer is at hand.

I notice that my letter was not miscarried.

Your loving and obedient child.
Valeria J. Campbell.

Love, love, love to you.
