I enclose the paper which was sent to me, to fill out the blanks and trust they will be satisfactory to you.

It is a year and seven months since I was treated by Mrs. J. C. Woodbury and in spite of all opposition and trials, I still keep well, and have employed no Physician since for no member of my family [?] Unclear or illegible  except my Father, who is one of the most skeptics I ever met, and he called a Dr and he came once, that is the only time, that a Dr. has been in our house. I commenced to read & study Chr Science & HealthEditorial Note: Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy and began to work, as soon as the Light came to me, I saw what Christian Life really meant, for the first time in my life, and have proved the truths which one must follow, if they wish to possess health and hiappiness.

I have been of a very nervous excitable temperament, and the struggles which I have had with self, no one can realize, only those who have had the experience, and if I can keep quiet and bear patiently the rebukes & sneers which those who once called themselves my friends heap upon me, I feel perfectly well, and when I am overcome by my enemies in thought, down I go, and obliged to suffer, for my own weakness. I earnestly hope for more strength to bear more, and know that I shall feel, stronger in mind if I can get established and go to work.

I hope it will be my good fortune to enter the next primary class.
