| Editorial Title: | Silas J. Sawyer to Mary Baker Eddy, March 13, 1884 |
| Author: | Silas J. Sawyer |
| Recipient: | Mary Baker Eddy |
| Date: | March 13, 1884 |
Manuscript Description: Handwritten by Silas J. Sawyer on his stamped, lined stationery from Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Editorial Note: Sawyer reports to Mary Baker Eddy on the class in Christian Science that he is currently
teaching. He has four students: Calla Johnson, Mary Hill, Jane M. Dadmun, and Julia Brady. He comments that Julia Brady, whom he previously disliked, has turned out to be
an earnest, honest seeker of Truth and that he has high expectations for her. Sawyer
is gaining much himself from teaching the class, and would like to continue in teaching,
could he become fitted for it. He received a letter from Fannie M. Silsbee and Sawyer hopes that Eddy will persuade Silsbee to practice in Chicago instead of
in Milwaukee. He believes she has done a lot of damage to the cause of Christian Science
in Milwaukee. Sawyer writes that he has now learned who E. S. Coursen of Chicago is and says that she practices the methods of metaphysical treatment espoused
by Edward J. Arens. Sawyer hopes to persuade her to join Mary Baker Eddy's class when Eddy comes to
Chicago. (Coursen studied with Eddy in May 1884 in Chicago.) Sawyer has also been
informed that C. F. Morrill of Chicago, a student of Bradford Sherman's, is a sincere worker. (Morrill studied with Eddy in Chicago in May 1884.) Sawyer
also asks Eddy about Sarah E. Heywood, whom Eddy taught in her class beginning on February 25, 1884. He encloses funds
and names for three new Journal subscribers, and he asks Eddy to send more circulars and sample copies of The Christian Science Journal.
