Dear Doctor and Mrs. Eddy;

Your very interesting double letterEditorial Note: This letter is not extant. came to hand today, and one, also, from "Mrs. H. E. Day, of 779 Tremont Street BostonEditorial Note: Boston, Massachusetts", asking the prospectus of work in the Queen CityEditorial Note: Cincinnati, Ohio.

I have recently received a kind letter from Dr. Todd of NewburyportEditorial Note: Newburyport, Massachusetts, and one from our faithful friend Hanover P. Smith, of Boston, explaining the present status of fermenting mind in the East.

Of course I have had struggles with the evil one and possibly always shall in this phase of life but I am more and more anxious to grow in ScienceEditorial Note: Christian Science. I feel a deep interest in your labors and would gladly do more for the causeEditorial Note: The cause of Christian Science.. I cannot, however, quite understand how such general confusion in our ranks can be caused by a few individuals. If it was a lucrative business for them it would seem more reasonable. I have explicit faith in our leader and consider her love and labor as divine.

I sincerely hope you will send some student, or come yourselves, into the Western world. And now the poor are rapping As Written: wrapping at my front door, and with much love I bid you adieu. A. T. Buswell.

Hoping to hear from you often and much, and desiring to be a humble though efficient worker in the "Cause of Causes."

your loving student,
