Four years ago this spring, I took a severe cold, which left me with a hard cough. I took both allopathic and homeopathic treatment at different times, but derived no benefit from either, - so I went to Milwaukee last winter and had Mrs. F. M. Silsbee, metaphysician there, treat me, took some seventy-one or two treatments and have been very much relieved, although I still, cough a great deal, but my general health is much better. I am going to study Christian Science, and my nearest point from here, where I can learn it, is Milwaukee and as Dr. Sawyer and Mrs Silsbee are both students of yours, I write to ask, which one you would recommend for one to study under. Dr. Sawyer I only know by reputation, have never seen him. Mrs. Silsbee I like very much, but of course, I prefer to be instructed by the one, who, has the best faculty of imparting the knowledge.

Hoping to hear from you soon.

I remain
Respectfully Yours
Libbie Beyer.
