Dear Teacher

Your most welcome noteEditorial Note: This note is not extant. is at hand.

I am more than glad if the Index is at all suitable to so grand a work. All I can say is I tried to do faithful & honest work on it. It was a labor of Love Yet as it went on I felt how inadequate I was to do it. It was the greatest task of my life.

You should have seen how all eyes glistened in Chickering Hall last Sunday morning when I picked the BookEditorial Note: Norcross read from the fiftieth edition of Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. up & announced to them what I was about to read from

It was a very Stormy day. Yet a very fair sized congregation were out.

I beg to congratulate you my Dear Teacher on its completion & feel sure that the words I read in Rev. XIX. 9Rev 19:9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God. . which I used as my text were singularly appropriate. It marks an epoch in Christian ScienceAs Written:C.S.

About “my bill” as you style As Written: styl it. I never felt like making out any.

You know I never paid for my tuition besides this work has been to me in more senses than are a Normal Class . If however Mr. Nixon will let me have a few copies at a reduced price I would appreciate that– They will go to the right place. Perhaps a hint to him from you would not be without its effect on him.

With Loving Regard
