August 24, 1886
When your letterEditorial Note: This letter is not extant. came notifying me that Rev. Mrs Eddy's class would commence Aug. 30. I was absent from home, or I should have answered it before this. This is a season of the year which is rather inconvenient for me to be from home. If Mrs Eddy should have a class As Written: clase later in the season, I should rather prefer attending that. But I am so anxious of receiving her instructions, that I shall certainly become a member of the Class of 30th of Aug. unless she will have a Class later in the season, and would just as lief I would then attend. Please answer at your earliest convenience.
Be so kind as to give my compliments to Rev. Mrs Eddy.
