Accession: L03923
Editorial Title: Mary Baker Eddy to Sarah O. Bagley, December 20, 1871
Author: Mary Baker Eddy 
Recipient: Sarah O. Bagley 
Date: December 20, 1871 - archivist estimate
Manuscript Description: Handwritten by Mary Baker Eddy on lined paper from Lynn, Massachusetts.
Archival Note: An archivist note on this document reads, "Probably written late in 1871. This letter was faint and the writing had to be traced. There was some doubt about pencil-scored words." The date of this letter is an archivist estimate, determined by the following considerations: Eddy's student, Samuel Putnam Bancroft, was married in Lynn, Massachusetts, on December 7, 1871 (see second paragraph). This letter discusses setting up annual percentage payments, and Eddy later receives a payment from Bagley in January 1872. (see L08314).
