15 Blagden street, Boston, Mass.
The Rev. Mary Baker G. Eddy,
Pleasant View, Concord, New HampshireAs Written:N.H.
Dear Mrs. Eddy,

I have received through your secretary, Mr. Wilson, your kind and considerate suggestion made with regard to permitting me to enter the Normal class in the study of Christian Science. The amended suggestion that I prepare for that important work by entering a primary class, has also been forwarded to me.

I am emboldened by your goodness and tenderness to me, a Catholic, touched by this higher thought, to make a request. For several months I have been working on the facts of your biographyEditorial Note: Wilbur published a series of articles about Mary Baker Eddy in Human Life magazine and this series then became the basis for her book, The Life of Mary Baker Eddy. and from time to time have had to make statements with regard to the doctrine of Christian Science. Mr. Alfred Farlow has helped me by kind and patient conference, preventing me from making serious blunders by a supervision of all my manuscripts.

Therefore, if it is expedient and wise in your thought, I should like to enter his next class. Will you let me know your wish in this matter? I shall jealously cherish your permission to enter the next Normal class, always hoping you may not find it necessary to revoke that privilege before the time arrives.

Your letterEditorial Note: Possibly L09006. written in respect to the work I am doing, I appreciate greatly; for it assures me that you know of it and that you are following it.

Your words of love are to me like the reflection from the Red Rose on the right hand of God that shineth in thy face. God have you in His tenderest keeping, dear Mrs. Eddy.

Yours faithfully,
Sibyl Wilbur.
