My Dear Madame,-

I regret exceedingly not having the pleasure of a personal interview with you on my last visit to Boston. I desired, then, to make special mention to you of the interest I have in one of your devoted disciples, Mrs. Fisk of this city, of whom I spoke to you at the time of my first visit. The cause of Christian Science, as taught in your bookEditorial Note: Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, has no more ardent or devoted advocate. She feels the need of a personal contact with you, and of a personal charge, if I might use the word in its largest sense, from you to bear to others the true message of truth. Your Works are her guide, but if she can receive from you direct additional enthusiasm as it were, great good can be accomplished.

Her wish is to go on to Boston very soon, and my desire is that she may have such an arrangement with you, in advance, as will secure for her your direct and earnest efforts in showing her such a course as will produce the best results. It is hardly possible for her to remain away from Denver and from her family for a longer period than four weeks. It is thus necessary to make plans that she may receive from you direct and special instructions during the short period that she can remain in Boston.

She has taught near friends who would not receive instruction from any other teacher, and has, in a very successful way, practiced As Written: practised the Christian Science Doctrine. You will remember of my mentioning to you the success Mrs. Fisk has had in teaching a large class of young men for the past eleven years in one of our city churches; and in such ways, as well as many others, she has shown her peculiar faculty for teaching, and I most cordially approve her plan of visiting Boston and searching at the FountainheadAs Written:Fountain Head for such additional light as will be reflected through her teaching, into many waiting disciples in this city.

Please reply at your earliest convenience, as per enclosed address, stating what you can do to further her plans, and how she can arrange to make the best use of her time while in Boston.

With high regards, dear Madame, and best wishes,

I am,

Yours Most Respectfully,
J. Elliot Condict
