I hear from you through the “Association”Editorial Note: This is a reference to either the Christian Science Association in Boston or its branch association in Chicago. and from your students of yours but the most good I have received has been that from word of mouth you gave to my friend Mr. Wamsley, whom you so kindly received at your home in BostonEditorial Note: Boston, Massachusetts, whose daughter I am treating – the said daughter having been an invalid for several years. Your cheerful and encouraging words gave me much hope and I feel grateful for them.

I have enjoyed reading the last Journal exceedingly – and thank you personally for your article in answer to – or rather in “defense of “Christian Science””
