Your letterEditorial Note: This letter is not extant. was unclaimed, and before I forget it in my numberless cares, will answer it. I will accept you for a student in my normal class not withstanding your penmanship! I laughed at your inquiry and said wish I could see the dear one and tell her my thoughts. There is a question of great import to you and all regarding the good you do in teaching or the evil that may be done by it. Truth alone must be taught, if in small amounts, that is of not so much importance because if your students come to me, I can give the fullness. But if a student is taught wrong then I have to go over it all and it takes them much longer to get right. Please answer me this question. Do you believe that persons having passed through the dream of death into another dream, can commune with us who have not entered this dream yet? I hope Dr. Avery is doing good but I should have expected he would have told me he was going to teach I want him to come with you to my Normal class after you both answer me on the aforesaid question Now dear one you perhaps cannot see the great need of this question being settled and settled right at this period as I can But you can trust the love of the author of Science and HealthEditorial Note: Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy.

Give much love to Dr & Mrs Avery and I am Ever truly
