| Editorial Title: | Eldridge J. Smith to Mary Baker Eddy, November 16, 1881 |
| Author: | Eldridge J. Smith |
| Recipient: | Mary Baker Eddy |
| Date: | November 16, 1881 |
Manuscript Description: Handwritten by Eldridge J. Smith on lined paper from Washington, D.C.
Editorial Note: Smith tells Mary Baker Eddy that he saw the Librarian of Congress at the Capitol.
The Librarian told him that the third edition of Eddy's book, Science and Health, had been received and a certificate issued to her and to no one else. The Librarian
further told Smith that it is not customary to issue an official receipt for books
received to be copyrighted. Smith goes on to tell Eddy that he is not conversant with
the law or rules governing the Congressional Library, but if Eddy wishes, he will
contact his lawyer on her behalf and get his opinion. There would be no cost to Eddy
for this, but Smith asks her to briefly state the case in a letter to him. He says
that he will be glad if he can be of any service to Eddy. Smith and his wife send their kindest regards to Eddy and her husband. In a postcript, he tells Eddy
that Lucinda M. Reeves called to see him and his wife, and that they like her very much.
