Beloved Student:

When I received As Written: recieved your letterEditorial Note: This letter is not extant. I laid it among those to be first answered, and there it now lies a faithful witness to my purpose to be prompt in reply; and some hundred others lie beside it. I began a few days or one week ago to count the telegrams I received As Written: recieved and run up to over fifty then I stopped but the dispatches did not stop.

It requires every hour in 12 to simply read my letters — then where is my time to answer them? Our causeEditorial Note: The cause of Christian Science grows bigger every moment in the eyes of the people. The churches are turning to consider it more fairly, and the common people hear the glad tidings with joyLuke 2:8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. Luke 2:9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. Luke 2:10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. Luke 2:11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. . God bless you, give you wisdom and grace and joy this and every year

Lovingly your teacher
M B G Eddy

Give my dear love to Lady Ramsay and her dear daughtersEditorial Note: Charlotte L. Ramsay and E. Mary Ramsay I will write to them sometimeAs Written:some time Deo volente.
