| Editorial Title: | Samuel G. Todd to Mary Baker Eddy, October 15, 1882 |
| Author: | Samuel G. Todd |
| Recipient: | Mary Baker Eddy |
| Date: | October 15, 1882 |
Manuscript Description: Handwritten by Samuel G. Todd on lined paper from Newburyport, Massachusetts.
Editorial Note: Todd tells Mary Baker Eddy that he used to have her on a pedestal, but he now realizes
that she is fallible and has made mistakes. Regarding controversies between Eddy and
some of her students, Todd has listened to both sides and has concluded that the wrong
was not entirely on the students' side. Todd and Eddy have never had any trouble with
each other, but he believes that would not necessarily be the case if he was around
her much. He warns against treating George W. Chase unfairly and asks that she give him an honorable discharge from the Church of Christ (Scientist) and the Christian Scientist Association. Todd's own reasons for wanting to withdraw from the Church and Association are valid,
namely, that he would have to travel forty miles to attend meetings. He would like
to see Eddy again and listen to her explanations of truth, but he is thinking of moving
away and may not see her for some time. Todd knows that Eddy has had a hard time and
many enemies to contend with. Confused and influenced by them, he thinks Eddy may
have said and done things she would not have in calmer moments.
