Some three months ago I commenced reading your Science & HealthEditorial Note: Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures and became deeply interested in it; and had some conversation with a friend on the subject; in the mean timeCorrected:meantime a very dear friend had returned here to JacksonEditorial Note: Jackson, Michigan, almost entirely blind. After having two Hemahorages Corrected: hemorrhages from the nose, her sight went entirely. Since then, she has had two more the last she was unconscious 1/2 hour and friends were telegraphed for, as they thought her time had come to die. The Dr diognesed Corrected: diagnosed the case & called it a Tumor, back of the eyes & frontal bone in forehead extending down into the nasal passage. They thought she would soon go by hemhorageCorrected:hemorrhage, only two days interview between the two last. This was 7 weeks ago next Tuesday night. I had called on her 3 or 4 times & found I could exert a very quieting influence over her. The next A.M. after the bleeding they came for me to sit with her, I found her very nervous could not sleep, she had such a fear of bleeding again, and of course the family was looking for a return any moment. With the little knowledge I had I set to work to remove this mortal fear from her mind, & replace it with a calm trust in her Heavenly Father. The Physician thought there was no hope for her. Her right eye was protruded almost out of the socket & a large bunch very high up in the corner of her eye. While praying for her, I seemed to see the Lord Jesus stooping over her with his hand placed over her eyes. From that moment I believed she could get well, I could'ntCorrected:couldn't see how, but I thought Jesus knew just how to treat it, and would in some, wayCorrected:someway remove it. From that time I commenced treating her to the best of my ability, my faith has never wavered for a moment. The Lady no longer watches for hemhorageCorrected:hemorrhage, and is very hopeful that the perfect healing will come, & sight restored. During this time the Tumor, or growth has moved downwards, the eye has not protrude so much, but the growth has come down in the nostril, within a half inch of the end, she does not suffer much pain now, & looks much more natural, & her eyes have a natural expression, but no sight comes. From some remarks in your booksEditorial Note: Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, I took it that you could diagnose a case at a distance from you. So I come to appeal to you in the name of the MasterEditorial Note: Jesus Christ who exerts his power of healing without money & without priceIsa 55:1 Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. , to assist me in this case if you can. For most 7 weeks I have given freely every forenoon of to her & give her absent treatment at night. She sleep well now has gained strength & appetite I still believe it will come, but I must say I am puzzled about this growth coming down so in her nostril. I am surrounded by those who scoff & sneer at Mind Cure, and look at me in perfect astonishment when I say she will get well. I cannot believe the Lord will disappoint my trust for I have felt so perfectly restful in it. Nothing can shame it but seeing her dead before me. And yet I lack this absolute power of concentration, I am never entirely lost to all sense of surrounding noises or sounds that some say they are. I have been lead by some unseen influence to write and ask your assistance in this case. It seems as if the honor of the cause of Metaphysics in this town & Christ’s power to heal through his servants, rests on this case Drs & Ministers are watching the result

It is a Test case, and seemed to be actually thrust on me who am only a babe in this work, I feel my utter weakness but just give myself to the Lord to use in this causeEditorial Note: The cause of Christian Science.

Can you - will you for the love of your causeEditorial Note: The cause of Christian Science, which I most firmly believe is the cause of the MasterEditorial Note: Jesus Christ, give your thought to this Lady in removing this Tumor, & restoring her eyes sight?

Please write me what you think of it, and oh if you can exhert Corrected: exert your power of healing at that distance, for the love you bear the Great Healer please do it.
