| Editorial Title: | Melinda H. Smith to Mary Baker Eddy, November 9, 1883 |
| Author: | Melinda H. Smith |
| Recipient: | Mary Baker Eddy |
| Date: | November 9, 1883 |
Manuscript Description: Handwritten by Melinda H. Smith from Williamsport, Pennsylvania.
Editorial Note: Smith tells Mary Baker Eddy that the brother of her husband, Eldridge J. Smith, will probably call on Eddy soon. Eddy had met Eldridge's brother a few times when
she visited Washington, D.C. The Smiths hope that Eddy is at peace and has large classes.
So far, they see no prospect of gathering a paying class for Eddy to teach in Washington.
They are constantly studying Christian Science and trying to help those they can but
find the minds in their area to be "very crude." The Smiths own a portrait of Abraham
Lincoln which they wish to sell for $2,000 ($53,384.31 in 2017) to a wealthy person
or corporation. In the rest of the letter, Smith asks Eddy about various people who
are advertising as metaphysical healers, as well as mentioning various metaphysical
magazines they've seen.
