Where is my first and second copy of my addressEditorial Note: On September 22, 1893, Septimus J. Hanna read Eddy’s address to the World's Parliament of Religions at The World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, Illinois.? I telegraphed the Dr. and Mr Kimball at ChicagoEditorial Note: Chicago, Illinois to bring it with him and expected it on his arrival. What was my disappointment to hear him say he knew nothing about them! And for you never to mention it in your letter! You cannot forget my solemn charge to you in the library- when I handed that copy to you and called upon you to give me your word as a man of honor that it should not pass out of your hands until it was delivered by you to Mr Kimbal and he should promise you to let no one see it until it was printed in the World's Fair bookEditorial Note: John Henry Barrows, The History of the World’s Parliament of Religions, 2 vols. (Chicago: Parliament Publishing Company, 1893) Also that I told you to seal it up when you gave it to Mr Kimball. To all of this I could make oath and you answered me in apparent earnest faith that you would do as I requested. I now must have those copies as you agreed accounted for, and as you have already published several pages of my works copyrighted or caused to have them published and the notice of copyright was not with your publication I ask you to procure for me at once those original copies and account for this transaction

In haste
