A true copy of my letter to Mrs. Choate written June 17, 1884
My dear Student

This lovely morning I wish I could see you and put my arms round your neck and tell you how much I love you. I never can feel so happy as when thinking of you in the old way and asking God to bless my child that so many years I have been accustomed to do and must continue to do as long as memory lasts

I have forgiven you in years past, and can and do again, because I love you and I cannot hold any enmity against one who has done the good that you have done or even if they had done much that was wrong I must love all, because I cannot help it. I feel it and cannot feel otherwise

I never was so or so perfectly well in my life as now and I think 'tis because the causeEditorial Note: The cause of Christian Science. is so prosperous and I can live in such an atmosphere of love " peace on earth and goodwill to manLuke 2:13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Luke 2:14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. "

Oh may the God of all love bless and guide you in all your ways. I rejoice in your prosperity and shall always do so.

Remember me affectionately to all your family

Your loving teacher
M B G Eddy

P. S. I would like to see you at any time I am at leisure
