| Editorial Title: | Lucinda M. Reeves to Mary Baker Eddy, January 15, 1882 |
| Author: | Lucinda M. Reeves |
| Recipient: | Mary Baker Eddy |
| Date: | January 15, 1882 |
Manuscript Description: Handwritten by Lucinda M. Reeves on embossed lined paper from Washington, D.C.
Editorial Note: In this letter, Reeves tells Mary Baker Eddy of her search for appropriate housing
for herself and for Mary Baker Eddy and Asa Gilbert Eddy when they visit Washington, D.C. She also mentions the upcoming annual convention
of the National Women's Suffrage Association and suggests that Eddy might like to
be in D.C. to attend it. The rest of the letter is primarily concerned with informing
Eddy of laws governing medical practice in Washington, D.C., which it seems Eddy may
have asked her about. Reeves writes that she has spoken with two magnetic healers,
or magnetic physicians, and has learned the law only applies to physicians prescribing
medicine. Both healers she spoke with said they have had no trouble in their years
of practice. One magnetic physician, however, did mention that only physicians with
the degree of M.D. may legally demand payment from their patients. She closes with
a description of a few more housing options and mentions that she will continue looking.
