My dear Teacher,

I received the enclosed noteEditorial Note: This note is not extant., posted at Lawrence MassachusettsAs Written:Mass, the other day and think there is some mistake about it, It seems to me it is meantAs Written:ment for someoneAs Written:some one else It was addressed by Mr Frye, who I know makes many mistakes, AnywayAs Written:Any way there is nothing in it that concerns me as I never took a student that could or would go to you, and always urge them to, I know too well how superior your instructions are, There won't be another teacher of C. S.Editorial Note: Christian Science like you for 50 years, if there ever is. I took up teaching as a cross, I would be glad to lay it down if I could, as it is I don't take half the persons who come to me wanting to be taught, This may be wrong but, I am so rushed with patients all the time, and it seems to be very As Written: vry necessary to have good healers in the field, as well as teachers, Four of the leading M, D's of this city advise people to come to me, (not that I need them) and say to some of them if anyone As Written: any one can help you Miss. Brown can, So you see they are becoming interested.

Oh: I must tell you that I have a lady under treatment now who was a patient of Dr. Quimbys' a great many years ago As Written: a go , Also her father was a patient of his. I was so glad to have the opportunity finding out from her something about him. I have your lovely picture in my reception room, (the one sent by Mr H. P. Bailey) and it is so much admired. I said to a lady the other day who had had her head filled (so to speak) by Mrs. Newman, look at that face, and tell me if it is the face of such a person as you have been told Mrs Eddy is. She said; "No indeed, and I am so glad to have seen it."

I received a letter from A, J, Swarts a couple of weeks ago, Of course I have not replied As Written: replyed to it, I was so afraid of falling into some trap, if I did, there are so many laid for me; if you would like to read it I will send it to you.

Please excuse this hasty note - And before closing I will just say; There is but one Normal Student. in Chicago who says to people I can teach you just as much as Mrs. Eddy but it is not Miss. Brown, as all of her students can testify. Everything As Written: Every thing has been done that can be done, seems to me, to get up a quarrel As Written: quarrell between her and Mrs, Eddy., but she trusts such a thing will never occur, Anyway As Written: Any way she does not care to have any more false accusations made against her life & practice,

Affectionately and faithfully
Ellen Brown,
