I have heard a little about Christian Science but am sorry I do not understand more about it. I want to lay my case before you, hoping you will be able to tell me who to apply to for advice & whether you think any help can be given– I am forty years old & have six children living– I have been deaf in one ear & nearly so in the other, since I was about sixteen years old– My second child, a daughter of fifteen years, has been partially deaf for the last two years & now one of my boys, eleven years is quite deaf in one ear– All the Drs we have consulted say the same thing, catarrhal deafness. My own I can bear but if anything can be done for these two children, I would be so thankful. As I said before, will you tell me who to write to & whether you think anything can be done – I will be very grateful if you can find time to answer me–

Yrs truly
