| Editorial Title: | William T. Seaver to Mary Baker Eddy, October 29, 1883 |
| Author: | William T. Seaver |
| Recipient: | Mary Baker Eddy |
| Date: | October 29, 1883 |
Manuscript Description: Handwritten by William T. Seaver on lined paper from Pittsfield, Massachusetts.
Editorial Note: Seaver tells Mary Baker Eddy of his experiences with persons claiming to be Christian
Scientists but whom he concluded were only in it for the money. He mentions his own
financial challenges due to supporting his large family. Nonetheless, he is studying
Christian Science, teaching it to his children, and has brought about some cures through
applying its teachings. He has a baby girl in the household who was born the previous
March with Christian Science practitioner, Edward H. Hammond, in attendance. She is being brought up in Christian Science, has not had a drop
of medicine, and is perfectly healthy. Seaver believes that all metaphysicans should
support Eddy. He thinks it is wonderful how she has endured persecution. He mentions
that he was responsible for bringing both Luther M. Marston and Levi A. Childs into Christian Science. Finally, he wishes for Eddy that she will remain on earth
for many years, carrying on her work in Christian Science, never seeing death, and
vanishing from sight in ascension.
