My dear Student,

I received information from Dr. Avery todayAs Written:to-day that is favorable He spoke of a business committee etc in your C.S.AEditorial Note: This is not a reference to the Christian Scientist Association composed of students of Mary Baker Eddy, but refers to an association of Eddy’s students and other Christian Scientists in the greater Chicago area. I would recommend that under the circumstances you hand the enclosedAs Written:inclosed to your CommitteeAs Written:Com. to get published in the TribuneEditorial Note: Chicago Tribune and some other leading papers in Chicago and the far West The gross injustice of claiming my patronage of schools started by inadequate teachers as auxiliaries to the Mass Met Col. has gone far enough to demand a brief comment from me Will your CommitteeAs Written:Com. see to the publication of this article and copy it for other papers and publish at my expense.

I think Mr Swarts will subside soon but there are other plans maturing against the interest of the College and causeEditorial Note: The cause of Christian Science that you will soon if you have not already learnedAs Written:learn Stand firm meet the onslaught as ScientistsEditorial Note: Christian Scientists and build up Christian Science in Chicago by every one of you who are true taking all the students you can get and making numbers to meet the foe who are loyal also This is choosing As Written: chosing the least of two evils Read this to the C.S.A.Editorial Note: This is not a reference to the Christian Scientist Association composed of students of Mary Baker eddy, but refers to an association of Eddy’s students and other Christian Scientists and other Christian Scientists in the greater Chicago area.

You will find a notice of thanks in my last Mag. for Dr. Avery's beautiful vindication in "Mind and Nature"Editorial Note: This was a periodical being published at the time. Its full title was Mind in Nature: A Popular Journal of Psychical, Medical, and Scientific Information. Please find in this broken letter some scraps to read the members of the C.S.A.Editorial Note: This is not a reference to the Christian Scientist Association composed of students of Mary Baker Eddy, but refers to an association of Eddy’s students and other Christian Scientists in the greater Chicago area. -- This is one.

My students who have passed through the Normal class can graduate with a diploma in three years from their first entering the College, either as PhysiciansEditorial Note: Christian Science practitioners (healers) or as teachers or both. To receive this diploma it is requisite they follow the rules of the College.

1st. Their advertisements must be as Christian Scientists

2 Their lives must correspond to that

3rd Those they teach must not become teachers until they have passed through the Normal course of instruction

This last is important I am disgusted with the specimens of some teachers from the West with written private Mss. for their scholars

In haste Very truly
