My dear friend

I rejoice that a way is made ready. And if I find a better way you will be ready for it, will you not? I see the wisdom of the delay of any movement of mine God tells me you had better have more experience in the field before I locate you. How wonderful are His they surely are not as oursIsa 55:8 ¶For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. Isa 55:9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. - My friends in BostonEditorial Note: Boston, Massachusetts. were calculating on having a procession, chime of bells, et cetera when I visited Boston. So I went suddenly there April 1stEditorial Note: Mary Baker Eddy paid a private visit to the Original Edifice of The Mother Church for the first time on April 1, 1895, and she spent the night in the Mother’s Room there. "without shot of gun" We had a sweet, sweet love meeting – and God was manifest to me in more ways than I have time to tell. Give my love to Miss Stocking tell her I have not time to answer her good letters or I certainly should.

Affectionately ever mother
