With the mingled feelings of a mother's joy & sadness in the parting, I send to your loving care & tuition my "blessed baby"– Nettie. The pureness of her mind & sincerity of her devotion to Christian Science, will, I feel assured, win your favor; and the inspired droppings from your lips will be gathered into her heart, already filled with a desire to know & understand the Truth.

If it is your intention to have a normal class within a reasonable time following the close of the present one, I would like Nettie to remain & take that course also, if agreeable to you. She having already demonstrated the required time, you will no doubt deem her eligible to receive it.

It would have been my greatest pleasure to have accompanied Nettie & taken the courses with her, but was unable to make satisfactory arrangements, just at this time, to do so. Please send all of Nettie's As Written: Netties bills to me & I will remit by draft before close of class.
