| Editorial Title: | Silas J. Sawyer to Mary Baker Eddy, December 17, 1883 |
| Author: | Silas J. Sawyer |
| Recipient: | Mary Baker Eddy |
| Date: | December 17, 1883 |
Manuscript Description: Handwritten by Silas J. Sawyer on the printed stationery of his dental practice, from
Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Editorial Note: Sawyer is replying to a letter (not extant) dated December 15, 1883, that he received
from Mary Baker Eddy. He tells her that he misunderstood the type of instruction in
Christian Science he would receive from her in Boston, thinking that she gave one-on-one
instruction to students, rather than teaching them in a class. He emphasizes to Eddy
that he cannot afford to be away from Milwaukee for any extent of time, as he is dependent
on his dental practice for income and, of course, will not have any patients while
he is in Boston. Eddy has invited Sawyer's wife, Jennie E. Sawyer, to accompany him to Boston to be taught. He asks if Eddy would make an exception
in their case and teach him and his wife individually if they came to Boston at once
and not require them to be in a class. He asks that she reply by telegram when she
receives his letter. He also asks Eddy for details about lodging, board, etc. that
are available there. Finally, Sawyer has heard from Fannie M. Silsbee that she has corresponded with Eddy about coming to Boston to be taught, and he feels
she should wait until a later time. (Sawyer studied with Mary Baker Eddy in a class
that began on December 27, 1883.)
