My dear Mrs. Eddy, -

It is my duty to come to your assistance.

Any time after the 9th of April I can remove from here to your establishment.

Just now my husband is with me and I am devoting all my time to him.

I have not conferred with him about the change; have simply told him my decision.

I hope my leaving the college when that time comes will be as clearly seen and felt to be my duty as the going to it now is.

Be worthy of my trust and love, and find in me your faithful friend.

I may add gratefully here that it is Miss Bartlett’s strong sweet promise of assistance toward my more certain healing power that is one of the evidences of the loving kindness I shall experience in my intercourse with you all in the future.

Just tell me the most convenient date you would like me to come permanently. –

I am of the opinion that the time is almost ripe for you to rest from carkingEditorial Note: Carking means something causing distress or worry. cares for the birth of some new power! I do not know why I think so. – Please do rest!

Lovingly
Mrs. Emma Hopkins
