Editorial Title: M. A. Hinckley to Mary Baker Eddy, February 5, 1884
Author: M. A. Hinckley 
Recipient: Mary Baker Eddy 
Date: February 5, 1884
Manuscript Description: Handwritten by M. A. Hinckley on lined paper from Williamsport, Pennsylvania.
Editorial Note: Hinckley writes to Mary Baker Eddy of her intense struggles in attempting to understand Eddy's book, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures. She hopes to study with Eddy at the Massachusetts Metaphysical College and wonders if she could pay half the tuition now and the rest once she earns it. However, she wonders about her prospective earnings, as she has heard from Melinda H. Smith about Lucinda M. Reeves, who studied with Eddy and was able to heal. Unfortunately, Reeves was not able to earn sufficient money from her practice and had to give it up. Hinckley also says that Reeves never grasped that Christian Science is the religion of Jesus. Hinckley feels that with the light she has already gained she will be able to absorb the Truth readily.
