| Editorial Title: | Jennie E. Sawyer to Mary Baker Eddy, March 4, 1884 |
| Author: | Jennie E. Sawyer |
| Recipient: | Mary Baker Eddy |
| Date: | March 4, 1884 |
Manuscript Description: Handwritten by Jennie E. Sawyer on lined paper from Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Editorial Note: Sawyer writes Mary Baker Eddy a long letter that she hopes will not weary Eddy. She
asks a lot of questions of Eddy regarding the practice of Christian Science, including
handling mental malpractice and opposition to Christian Science. Should she handle malpractice at the beginning
of every Christian Science treatment she gives? She finds that if she does not do
this, her patients experience pain and pressure in their heads and sometimes chills
and fever. And then she herself experiences the same symptoms. Sawyer also asks Eddy
if it is possible to "overtreat" a patient, and uses an illustration of ruining baking
powder biscuits by putting too much effort into making them. Finally, Sawyer hopes
that Fannie M. Silsbee, who is currently studying with Eddy in Boston, will choose to practice in Chicago
when she returns, rather than in Milwaukee, as her work in Milwaukee has not been
commendable.
