ChicagoEditorial Note: Chicago, Illinois Mar 20. 1885.
My Dear Teacher -

I thought that I would write you and express my satisfaction with the instruction that I received from you in those lessonsEditorial Note: Caroline D. Noyes was a student in the Normal Class taught by Mary Baker Eddy that began on February 16, 1885.. I have never been so well pleased with my work as since my return. My Patients have all done finely and I feel more equal to anything that presents itself. My work has been considerably in myself. I have attacked self Esteem, Pride, the Belief that I am anything apart from God, selfishness, covetousness, Love of Ease I have not attacked for I am industrious but there are certain times Noon, and Evening, that I am very fond of my Ease I am very sorry to say that I have got some of miss Browns Patients. I could not refuse them. they insisted so and declared they would go back to medicine. if I did not consent. Mrs Bell had some truth with Miss Brown. Mrs Bell you have heard of and Mrs Bell felt it was impossible to go back to her. and you never saw anyone more devoted to the ScienceEditorial Note: Christian Science. she came with Tears and Entreaties and went to see Dr Sherman also. he said if I did not consent to take her, that he would, and that it was all right for me to take her. I felt very uncertain about taking her. for I did not want to hurt Miss Browns feelings. for I feel very friendly towards her now. and know that she is trying. and she is doing well in the AssociationEditorial Note: This is the Chicago branch of the Christian Scientist Association. and we must preserve our Friendship on account of that if nothing else - Mrs. Bell is doing well. I have removed the Supporter and she is all right in Spite of Dr Avery. and the length of time she has been having the treatment. since last June I think. and since Christmas she has been growing worse -

I hear from good sources that Dr. Avery is coming out well for scienceEditorial Note: Christian Science. he is not coming to the meetings now on account of Morrell, and I understand that he says that he expects to be out of Medicine. in about a month I hope it is true.

I have found out Morrell and I think he is insincere. I enclose you one of the circulars he has taken the liberty to get out for the object of drawing Students to himself. it was before he found out the rule to admit none but the Students of the Normal Class, but it has brought him some applications I think, for he came to me to see if I would give him a commission on Students. he does not like Miss Brown. or B. Sherman. and he does not dare ask R. Sherman, People are rather apt to be afraid of Roger for he keeps everyone at such a distance. so his next move is to take the Normal Course himself. he came to see me about it. asked me if I thought you would take him. I told him no. for he was not advanced enough. it would be terrible for him to have that Course. for we can hardly live with him now. and we may be obliged to take some decisive action in regard to him.

I spoke to you at the length of the Bell case, for I wanted you to understand as it was the cause twice, and begged and insisted and said that her Husband had positively forbidden her going back to Miss B - I could not say no. did I do right?

Do you know that it almost seems to me as though Man was God. in this way. Man is immortal. and the Truth alone is immortal, then Man must be the Truth. and the Truth and God are one and the same. is not that so? I understand Man to be the expression of God, in the beginning of my remark I have made it seem that they are one and the same. Is man the practical part of God? I have got one Student so you can consider me in debt ten dollarsEditorial Note: $10.00 in 1885 is the equivalent of $264.70 in 2019. to the Church. I took her for One hundredEditorial Note: $100.00 in 1885 is the equivalent of $2,647 in 2019. - I think your Defence of C. S. is very grand. I would like one Dozen of those. and the same of historical sketches, for which you will find two dollarsEditorial Note: $2.00 in 1885 is the equivalent of $52.94 in 2019. enclosed. I don’t As Written: dont like to send moneyAs Written:mon in a letter. I have all the Patients now I can take care of. and am turning them over to others, all that will go. I have a belief that I can’t As Written: cant take care of only about so many -

Yours with much Love -
