Dear Mr. Curtis,

I have work enough on hand and am only waiting to see where I can avail myself of your kind offerEditorial Note: It is not known what Curtis’ offer was. Possibly he may have offered services as a copyist or proofreader in connection with Mary Baker Eddy’s work on the third edition of her book, Science and Health. The third edition was published on August 17, 1881.. If it is convenient for you to call here next Sat. any where between the hours of 6 and 8 P. M. when my husband is in. I will show you what work I have and you can see it. I fear it will be impossible for any one but a student to pick out the copy

Kind regards to your wife and I am

Very Respect'ly

M B G Eddy

Remember you are booked for my next classEditorial Note: We do not have any evidence that Curtis ever took a class from Mary Baker Eddy., but I have not seen a loop hole yet to look out of in work and will let you know when I get ready to commence the class, for I would not miss having you look into this great Truth deeper for much

Again M B G E
