They gave me a number of your Journal in which I find your booksEditorial Note: Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy advertised and very interesting letters.

I am sure I shall never rest until I have thoroughly investigated it.

My husband has what is considered an absolutely incurable disease, which if fear is also inherited by our child. So I feel more anxious than I can express to confirm the hopes I have begun to entertain of higher light. And any help you can render us in the matter will be appreciated. I assure you. I fear that with the expensive journey I may not see my way to take a collegiate course of study, for we are quite poor. but am most anxious to know all particulars.
