| Author: | Barrett A. Cox |
| Recipient: | Mary Baker Eddy |
| Date: | December 14, 1883 |
Manuscript Description: Handwritten by Barrett A. Cox on embossed lined paper from Pittston, Maine.
Editorial Note: Cox recalls to Mary Baker Eddy a visit he had with her a week previously in which
he discussed with her the case of Peter G. Bradstreet, who had been receiving Christian Science treatment through prayer from Alice B. Poole. Bradstreet had not admitted to feeling any better, but Eddy told Cox she felt that
Bradstreet was going to be better and that he would admit it. The result has been
that Bradstreet has said that he is greatly improved and "feeling just splendid."
Cox suggested to Bradstreet that he call on Eddy, and Bradstreet replied that he would
certainly do so on his next trip to Boston. Cox feels that Bradstreet has great potential
to be of service to Eddy and to the Christian Science movement. There is interest
in the possibility of Eddy lecturing on Christian Science in Gardiner, Maine, and
Cox says that if Eddy lectures there, she is invited to stay at his home. He adds
that Alice B. Poole is very successful as a Christian Science healer and has among
her patients some of the best citizens of Gardiner and Pittston, Maine. Three months
ago, Christian Science was hardly known in the area, but now everyone is talking about
it and the wonderful cures that are taking place. In a postscript, Cox reminds Eddy
that he spoke to her about his mother's illness. She is now well and wants to learn
more about Christian Science.
