The little paper that I intended to read at the closing meeting of the Sunday Services at the College for the summer but which I was unable to complete in season, I read by request at the students meeting last Tuesday night. I may be pardoned in saying that it was very attentively listened to and well received. Dr Buswell and some of the other students have since expressed a desire that to me that they would like to have you read it – so if you will take the trouble to look it over I will be happy to have you and will leave it with you over Sunday – I am about starting on a trip to Eastern Maine, down where my daughter lives, and I want to take the paper referred to with me as I may give one or two talks or lectures on the ScienceEditorial Note: Christian Science to the people down there, and this little paper may serve as a text to aid me, so if you return it to me by Sunday evening as I intend starting Tuesday. My dental practice has fallen off very much the past few weeks and the prospects are that it will be very dull here the rest of the summer, so I have decided to give up my office rooms here and take my case of dental instruments with me and operate some in dentistry in the places that I shall visit and may be absent until the last of September – This, as I am at present situated, seems to me an admirable cause to pursue and I hope it will meet with your approbation.

Mrs. Harris will continue here until the first part of August when she will probably visit her mother’s people in Maine for a few weeks. She is making good progress in the ScienceEditorial Note: Christian Science and is striving earnestly to secure a good number of patients. I would like to have her occasionally see you and Miss Bartlett during my absence if convenient for you to give her a few moments once in a while, and she will appreciate it so much and it does her so much good. I shall take a good number of the circulars and papers with me and speak a good word for the ScienceEditorial Note: Christian Science quite often as I move along in my travels.

On my return to Boston I shall take fresh hold of the CauseEditorial Note: The cause of Christian Science. and work for its advancement. You have probably heard that the student meetings continue to be well attended and are very harmonious, and progress is being made, altho’Expanded:although there is a great need of still more earnest work being done. If you think well of the paper I wrote and that it would be worthwhile to for me to read it at one of our public meetings on Sunday or week day evening after my return to the cityEditorial Note: Boston, Massachusetts this fall I will do so – in the mean time Corrected: meantime I could improve it or add a little more to it – and I will write up an article or two for the paper – of course as you know, this is my first attempt at writing upon the ScienceEditorial Note: Christian Science and anything I may get out in future I shall try and make improvement.

I hope to have the pleasure of seeing you before I leave – but if I do not – I wish you a pleasant summer and may kind Heaven’s choicest blessings rest upon you, and may we meet again in the fall –
