I have wanted to write you all the week, but have been so busy, that I did not find time. I sent you a little package of two embossed crosses which I thought would please you, not for their value of course, but for their beauty, I deal somewhat in these imported embossed goods, and seeing them in some samples shown me, selected a pair for you and a pair for myselfAs Written:my self, I do not handle such large embossed goods but have an opportunity to get them when I want as I have travelling salesmen with samples of such goods visit me often, what I use mostly are those suitable for cards of which I make a specialty. I also sent my Photo, only as a remembrance As Written: rememebrance for you to get yours taken and send to me at sometimeAs Written:some time when convenient. [*]Archival Note: A parenthesis spanning multiple lines has been inserted in the left margin here.Do you have circulars for Science and HealthEditorial Note: Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy? And what is the wholesale price of Science and Health, I would like to see if the BooksEditorial Note: Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy cannot be got into this place.[*]Archival Note: End parenthesis. If I were at liberty I would as soon engage in pushing the sale of those books and making the College more thoroughly known, as well also to push ahead the little paper as anything I know of and I think I could do it, it ought to be done. but as I am, just at present, I am only tied right to the cares of my office which I must appreciate so long as I have Work plenty, for there are many you know who are suffering this winter for want of enough to do. So I must be thankful that I am doing a fair business when there are many who are not.

You can send me the paper regularly and I will pay in the money for the same sometimeAs Written:some time when I am down. Would like to have you send me a few Sample Copies of the last issue to distribute among my friends.

Well with regards to All I will close as I have written too much now for one time.

Your affectionate Student
Albert Barnes Dorman.

Do not understand Mrs Eddy by what I say in regard to making known more the paper, books and College, that those already interested, are not doing all they can, for I know they are. but I mean more broadcastAs Written:broad cast, throughout the country, it is confined too much, that is what I mean, there is room for more to work and all do best they can. Shall be in BostonEditorial Note: Boston, Massachusetts if possible on Tuesday next, and stay over to attend the meeting for I know it would assist me very much.

GoodbyeAs Written:Good by
