Dear Mr. Wiggin: -

I am losing my patience. The non-fulfillment As Written: non-fulfilment of your promises is unbusinesslike unjust and unbearable. Send me soon as possible the cast proofs of first chapter, and send at once revised proofs of "Atonement," and let me see this work go on as fast or faster than Mr. Wilson agreed viz. at the rate of 18 pagesAs Written:pp per day.

Unless immediate notice is taken of this letter and its requests I will take the matter of reading proofs outside the press into my own hands and hold Mr. Wilson alone responsible for this unjust delay.

I suffered heavy As Written: heavey damages through delay in my last revision. You acknowledged this and seemed to feel the wrong done to me. The printing of my bookEditorial Note: Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy has been no small profit to Mr. Wilson and for the years that I have patronized him I am deserving better usage than another delay and loss like the past.

Handshift:Mary Baker EddyMy son is away or he would be in Boston and attend to this

In haste Truly
M B G Eddy
