Rome, Oneida Co., N.Y.
March 19, '87.
Rev. Mary B. G. Eddy,—

I have been reading "Science and HealthEditorial Note: Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy" with much interest – it is truly wonderful and it may be wonderfully true, a good lady – a worker in the Methodist denomination and a woman of intellect tells me that the devil has taken possession of me and making me believe a lie; neverthelessAs Written:never the less I am seriously contemplating taking the first course of twelve lessons and write you for information as to where to receive that instruction. Is it better to go direct to the College, or is it as well to take the lessons nearer home? I would wish to start aright, and under the best teacher. I will say that I am in perfect health never having been ill in my life.

Hoping for an early reply

Very Sincerely,
Alice I. Patton.
