My dear good Mrs Eddy

Thought is deeper than all speechAs Written:speach Feeling deeper than all thought Soul to soul can never teach What unto themselves was taught.

Your dear good letterEditorial Note: See V00838 came laden with fragrance of many a beautiful unfolded ideas that filled my soul with its fine perfume and my thoughts went out to the “giver of every good and perfect gift”James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

Your letter done me so much good and am so glad that you have been raised up to redeem the people out of sin and sickness and beliefs, What a savior you have been to me and I fully appreciate you, and I shall do all I can for you, my friend Miss M. A. Fletcher Will tell you so when she comes to Boston that I have been faithfulAs Written:faithfull to our beautifulAs Written:beautifull Lion Mrs Eddy I see you as the Woman clothed with the SunRev 12:1 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: , I know that you have passed through all you say to get this truth – And I never found anyoneAs Written:any one before that possessed this beautiful power it will be the PeaceAs Written:Pease that long been tarnished by the world, but your hand can the Polish bring that time can no man on its surface fling.

We see but on the surface of Life stream that floweth on, not the many undercurrentsAs Written:under currents that the Soul is wrecked upon, All the inner fights and strengthsAs Written:strnghs to ourselves are only known, none can read the hidden Heard of the leaves that folded down,

Be yours the blessed work to cheer and so shall you obtain the Eden of your blessing given

Mrs Eddy please to excuse this poorly written letter, I was all alone, and my thoughts seemed to go to you, May heavenAs Written:heven bless you and reward you as you deserve how much I would like to come to Boston with Miss Fletcher, she is my best friend and think you will like her very much -
