| Editorial Title: | Roger Sherman to Mary Baker Eddy, December 18, 1883 |
| Author: | Roger Sherman |
| Recipient: | Mary Baker Eddy |
| Date: | December 18, 1883 |
Manuscript Description: Handwritten by Roger Sherman on lined paper from Chicago, Illinois.
Editorial Note: Sherman is replying to a letter (not extant) dated December 13, 1883, that he received
from Mary Baker Eddy. He tells her that he does not understand the envy and rivalry
existing in Chicago that she speaks of in her letter. There are a number of people
in Chicago working in Christian Science and doubtless there are the usual instances
of envy that are to be expected due to erring human nature. But Sherman has seen no
evidence that they have as yet assumed "malicious" proportions. Furthermore, Sherman
has heard no slanders of Eddy in either Chicago or Milwaukee. In her letter, Eddy
apparently told Sherman that Edward J. Arens had visited Chicago, and Sherman says that he had not heard that. He wants to know
what Arens' visit means and also any further information about the activities of "Professor
Charles," (possibly George B. Charles) since Sherman has not heard of him since Eddy's letter about him. Sherman reports
on trying to find an article that Eddy believes has been published in the Chicago Tribune, but Sherman has been unsuccessful and thinks that if such an article actually appeared
in the Tribune, he would have known about it. Sherman ends his letter by telling Eddy that he will
be unable to come to Boston to attend her class at the Massachusetts Metaphysical College this winter but hopes to avail himself of the opportunity as soon as he can.
