I studied Metaphysics in Boston last Summer with Dr Osgood – called upon you in SeptemberEditorial Note: This was in September of 1883. & told you how dissatisfied I was with my knowledge & you offered to reduce your price of tuition for me from $300-Editorial Note: $300.00 in 1883 is the equivalent of $8,007.65 in 2017. to $100Editorial Note: $100.00 in 1883 is the equivalent of $2,669.22 in 2017.. At that time I was not able to accept although very anxious to do so. I want to know now if you will still permit me to accept the kindness if you will allow me to go through the College taking a full course of instruction for $100-Editorial Note: $100.00 in 1884 is the equivalent of $2,768.90 in 2017. I have been practicing Ever since last October doing some surprisingly good work, failing signally in other simple cases. I have gotten to where it is now “Lord I Believe; help Thou mine unbelief.Mark 9:17 And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit; Mark 9:18 And wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him: and he foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast him out; and they could not. Mark 9:19 He answereth him, and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me. Mark 9:20 And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightway the spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming. Mark 9:21 And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child. Mark 9:22 And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us. Mark 9:23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. Mark 9:24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief. Mark 9:25 When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him. Mark 9:26 And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him: and he was as one dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead. Mark 9:27 But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose. Mark 9:28 And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast him out? Mark 9:29 And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting. Mark 9:30 ¶And they departed thence, and passed through Galilee; and he would not that any man should know it. ” I must become stronger in my metaphysical faith or give up – I shall go to Boston in a short time & take more instruction. Had far rather go to you than to any one else but the price will necessarily determine that – Of course it will be strictly confidential with me – if you reduce your terms for me – If I go to you – Can I by in the middle or latter part of May & howAs Written:&how long would I be with you –
An Early answer will oblige me –
