Dear & Honored Teacher,

I now wish I had not written my last note, speaking of your apparent coldness in the note it answers.– Indeed, I live so much in the glow of your atmosphere, that if it pales its beams a little I feel it quick. There is a large sense in which you have become my life, and any apparent shading of it pains me, and in that case I see it was only apparent.

Yes, I am sure it is true as you say, that as fast as I understand your meaning I shall receive it. What I know of you is guarantee As Written: guarrantee of that. Besides, I have received all I understand so far; and whatever else there be which I see not yet, must be in harmony with what I have received. Oh! Dear Madam, I am so satisfied that God has inspired your work that I am only anxious to understand it and cooperate with it, and to grow in capability therein.–– I think the larger the intellect, if spiritually well-poised and informed, the more devoted it will be to ChristianAs Written:Chrn. Science. Now goodbyeAs Written:good bye. Blessings on you.

Gratefully Yours
