I have been reading your remarkable work "Science & Health"Editorial Note: Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy and am so impressed with the belief that you could help me that I am taking the liberty of writing you. For twenty years I have been troubled with "writers cramp" for which I know of no cure. I was once a good penman but I write now with pain. I have failed to receive thousands of dollars for positions I might have filled had I the free use of my hand I once had. I have also a pain in the upper part of my arm so I can hardly get it behind my back and can throw nothing suddenly without almost fainting. This may be rheumatic or arise from my hand trouble. I am aware Madam that the "laborer is worthy of his hire"Luke 10:1 After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come. Luke 10:2 Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest. Luke 10:3 Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves. Luke 10:4 Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way. Luke 10:5 And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house. Luke 10:6 And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again. Luke 10:7 And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire. Go not from house to house. Luke 10:8 And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you: Luke 10:9 And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you. but at present I am in an impecunious position from which I could arise if perchance I could recover my former ability to use my pen. On page 153 vol 1Editorial Note: Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy I read a letter from Louisa M Armstrong and Mr Badgely which involuntarily turn my mind back to the times of the New Testament and I say it reverently for I acknowledge Christ as my Master.

I write to you my dear Madam with great diffidence but if you could and saw fit, to give relief to a troubled man I should feel that a resurrection morn had dawned on me and in due time you should realize my grateful appreciation. For thirty years I have been afflicted with a catarrhal difficulty which at times is the bane of my life. Is it probable that my hand affection has any connection with that?
