My beloved Student:

Each day since your letter came I have endeavored to answer it, but unexpected care, or work, or a belief has prevented it. Today As Written: To-day I have reached the fulfillment of my intention. Your answer to the German publisher was strictly right.

I expect to have much to say about the publication of any of my books in GermanEditorial Note: Although Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures was not published in German during Eddy's lifetime, she did approve of it being translated in 1910 and the first German edition was published in 1912. if I understand the international law on this subject. But you will look after this matter and select wisely when the time comes.

The German gentleman's letter was imperfect in orthography showing his lack in our language. I hope to see you and wife and daughter some time again in the near future. But I know not what a day may bring forth.Prov 27:1 Boast not thyself of to-morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.

I have accomplished a great amount for the present and future of our causeEditorial Note: The cause of Christian Science. since I saw you.

With much love yours
