Dear Student and BrotherEditorial Note: Early Christian Scientists often called each other “brother” or “sister.”

Yours at hand is beautifully designed. 10000 is the number wanted but there are two kinds wanted; also please see on the third page copy of what we want printedEditorial Note: James Ackland was a printer by trade. He undertook several projects for Mary Baker Eddy, including printing cards containing her spiritual interpretation of the Lord’s Prayer, and printing her manuscript, “Private Directions for Metaphysical Healing.” It is not clear what project this letter is referring to.

I think I will not have my book published there as you named, it will require no more time to wait for my former publisher Mr Wilson

Many thanks for your kind offices. Am glad you are getting patients My husband and the students send love to you and I am ever

Yours truly
M B G Eddy
