My Dear Mrs. Eddy -

Have you yet decided when your next class in Metaphysics will begin? -

I think you will remember my going from WorcesterEditorial Note: Worcester, Massachusetts last spring to talk with you about joining a class - you were then willing to take me for two hundred dollarsEditorial Note: $200.00 in 1885 is the equivalent of $5,271.29 in 2019. which is all I can possibly pay, and more than I ought to give - If you will write me the time and terms, if the price is satisfactory I see nothing now to prevent my joining the next class -

Very Respectfully -
Miss Helen L. Swan
