Handshift:S. A. BombeckDear Mrs. Eddy,

By this writing I send in my name as a student with a Class in the futureEditorial Note: Although she expressed interest, Bombeck never officially enrolled or studied at the Massachusetts Metaphysical College. If others do not disappoint me I can join a class for March or April, perhaps not later in the spring season.

Sincerely Yours,
Mrs. S. A. Bombeck.

P. S.– I would be glad to board with people who live on a vegetable diet, as I adopted such over thirty years ago.

If I arrive in the night, I wish to know where to drive as we here in the backwoods are almost afraid of Hotels, any decent boarding house is good enough for a short time. I hear that it takes about three days to go to BostonEditorial Note: Boston, Massachusetts from Hannibal, MissouriAs Written:Mo. so I hope to get word in time. Ever hoping for the best in all things I await the future.

Mrs. S. A. B–
