Beloved Student:

I could wish that in your articleEditorial Note: See L11083A which I enclose you had concluded your sentence at – "of knowing the truth of God and man–" or have added, and demonstrating it. What you did add has made your meaning obscure to some readers. None but Scientists can comprehend the fact you stated. And you did not mean that a patient in the flesh is made a spiritual being by prayer. Your conclusion seems not quite logically drawn from its premise, prayer and its results.

I rejoiced over your dear last letterEditorial Note: Eddy is likely referring to 167.27.035. McCrackan was serving as the Committee on Publication for New York, and in that role he was writing a number of articles for the New York press. to me.
