I have recdExpanded:received your letter of 27thEditorial Note: See L07429.

You have evidently been very much misinformed concerning matters here in Chicago-

Jos Cook did not say any thingCorrected:anything whatever in public concerning you-

On the way out of the Hall, he and one or two students had a few words- but we felt that the incident was so insignificant that like many of the other foolish things that are said, it was of no consequence

Some unwise zeal has evidently, presented the matter to you in a very magnified way.

It was of no more importance than a fly buzzing for a moment around one's head

There is no stir here that I can discern except that the Inter-oceanEditorial Note: Chicago Inter Ocean people are disturbed-

All the students felt that they had been greatly blessed by the coming together, and that great good would result to the causeEditorial Note: The cause of Christian Science.

The public at large so far as I have mee et them feel that we have made an excellent showing, and exhibit a more kindly aspect towards christian science

I cannot send your addressEditorial Note: On September 22, 1893, Septimus J. Hanna read Eddy’s address to the World's Parliament of Religions at The World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, Illinois. by the Doctor, for you now know that he is not here- I have but one copy; the original one left with me by Judge Hanna- I will retain it until I receive further directions from you

I will defer handing your lettersEditorial Note: See L07429. to Mr Bonney and Dr Barrows until you receive this and have an opportunity to telegraph me-

They know nothing about your reference to Jos Cook, and will not understand it-Editorial Note: See L02579.

While here he made himself disagreeable and dis [?] Unclear or illegible liked by the managers of the CongressEditorial Note: The World’s Parliament of Religions was one of several “Congresses” held on specific topics and issues at The World's Columbian Exposition., and said many things that were condemned

The papers here all scored him terribly and what he said had little weight-

If I were you I would not deign to notice him and give importance to what was not public- but was a private utterance by a man of whom the Chicago people are very tired

Secondly- The Newspapers that published our papers etc thought they were favoring us, and acted in good faith-

We supposed that it was desirable that our proceedings should be properly noticed- and that the complaint had been that we were not suitably advertised-

The students therefore took some pains to have the papers give a full notice of our CongressEditorial Note: Christian Science was the only faith invited both to hold a denominational Congress of its own and to make a presentation of its teachings at a plenary session of the World's Parliament of Religions. and they all made all the corrections that were pointed out to them.

We felt that the "press" had dealt very fairly with us.

So far as I am concerned I have done nothing, without instructions from someone that I have regarded as authority, although I can say freely that nothing was done that did not seem wise in my sight- and I am very much inclined to think that if you knew all about what occurred here you would view it differently-

Your letter says, "I hope you are done with the World's Fair"

Shall I close the exhibitEditorial Note: The Christian Science exhibit at The World's Columbian Exposition. Per Eddy’s request, Kimball was in charge of planning for the Exposition.-?-

I do not know that Dr Peabody would permit it, but I could try-

I am going down townCorrected:downtown now to stop all mental work that I know of
