P. S.

Being favorably impressed with the philosophy of the "Mind Cure" theory: so far as I understand it: – I desire information in regard to the advertisement of the "Metaphysical College" as to the time & tuition required. If I understand it the "Collegiate Course" includes 12 lessons only, & continues "about 3 weeks" at a charge of $300Editorial Note: $300.00 in 1886 is the equivalent of $9,340.08 in 2022..–?

The "course in Physical & Metaphysical Obstetrics" includes "six lectures" only, tuition $100Editorial Note: $100.00 in 1886 is the equivalent of $3,113.36 in 2022..–?

"Class in Theology"– six additional lectures only - tuition $200Editorial Note: $200.00 In 1886 is the equivalent of $6,226.72 in 2022..–?

"Normal Class"- six lectures- $200Editorial Note: $200.00 In 1886 is the equivalent of $6,226.72 in 2022..–?

The date of no session or "Course" being advertised, I presume they recur quite often = perhaps monthly or weekly? I would like definite information– so I may know when to go.– The length of the "Courses" or number of "lessons" given– seeming so disproportionate to the "tuition", required,– that wife contends that I have misunderstood your advertisement. Will you please fully advise me.

Very truly Yours

S. C. Adams
