| Editorial Title: | Hanover P. Smith to Mary Baker Eddy, July 24, 1883 |
| Author: | Hanover P. Smith |
| Recipient: | Mary Baker Eddy |
| Date: | July 24, 1883 |
Manuscript Description: Handwritten by Hanover P. Smith on embossed lined paper from Lowell, Massachusetts.
Editorial Note: Smith is replying to a letter (not extant) that he has received from Mary Baker Eddy.
He has had very few patients in Lowell, Massachusetts, and feels he and his practice
of Christian Science healing are being inhibited by mental malpractitioners. The only way he felt he could break through this state of affairs was to write two
articles for The Christian Science Journal--one against other churches and the other against medical doctors. He feels that
his articles would arouse interest in Lowell and patients would come to him, and so
he is disappointed that Eddy does not want to publish his articles in the Journal.
Smith tells Eddy that she has not done anything to help him build up a practice. He
does not blame her as he knows she has her hands full, but he thinks that she could
give him a little help now and then. He reminds her that he never bothers her about
his patients as some of her students do. In the rest of the letter, Smith engages
in a discussion of whether or not a mental impression of a tree is real. He ends by
telling Eddy that Mrs. Hunt wants to know how much of a commission she can expect
to receive from selling copies of Eddy's books.
