CONCORD, N. H., Oct. 27 '93
Mr Joseph Armstrong
My dear Student:

I am in belief physically suffering because I have demanded the tenants in Roslindale to vacate in fourteen days. The Catholics seem very belligerent As Written: beligerent on account of this. The tenants owe me about four months rent and will not pay it. AnywayAs Written:Any way I want to get them out. They are Irish. I never would have let them in had I known it. To shorten the process I deed the place to you.

Wont you make it appear to lawyer Perry that it is bona fide and to everyoneAs Written:every one thus and then after they are out of the house come to Concord and I will fix this business with you. Get them out just as soon as the law allows be sure and not wait for them even to pay if they would. I want to get rid of them.

The Catholic priests call at my door and demand to know if I have any Catholic help. All the help of that kind I have had they take away from me. It would seem since the Word's Fair that they are afraid of the power of Christian Scientists and would exterminate the Leader.

The doctor does not always carry out my directions so I put this in your hands trusting you will do just as I say and I will pay you for it.
