Dear Mrs. Eddy–

Christmas has come and gone and I should like to tell you how very much more beautiful the day seemed to me than ever before. It seems as if you dear Teacher were my stepping-stoneAs Written:stepping stone to Truth. Christ's As Written: Christs life does not seem at all fabulous to me now as it used to, but the real Life we may all understand.

There is a lady here I am greatly interested in, She was formerly As Written: formaly a Catholic- but was too advanced and honest to remain in the Church. I talked with her about Christian - Science - and before she left me she became so interested in it that she asked me to get her a bookEditorial Note: Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy– which I did as soon as I could call upon Miss Burnham and get one. I heard from her this week– She is very much pleased with the contents. I wrote you some time ago -with regard to my Certificate - but have as yet received As Written: recieved no reply. I continue to work– wheneverAs Written:when ever the opportunity occurs- in every way I can. for the CauseEditorial Note: The cause of Christian Science.- I am a weak branch but hope to grow stronger. With great love and good wishes I am

Dear Teacher-

We are sorry to annoy you but do please let us hear from you in some way. I have induced a lady to get S. &. H.Editorial Note: Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy She has come to me for treatment- Mr. ShermanEditorial Note: Bradford Sherman or Roger Sherman of Chicago failed to reach her case - and I have undertaken it –Truth must reach her– I gave her my Journals and What is Christian Science by Rev. Adams. How I want to see you.
