The handing of your letterEditorial Note: See 273A.41.028 to our beloved Leader gives me the apology, if not the occasion, for writing you. The papers were received this afternoon, after 'mail hours' here, hence it is out of the question to present it today; tomorrow, however, if I can get past Mr. Frye with it, I will take it in. We have not taken her anything in the shape of manuscriptAs Written:MS for some timeAs Written:sometime, and very little mail of any kind for some days past, as she has been fully occupied with some matters if great import, but this, in my judgement is so well calculated to rest her, and please her, that I shall have a certain happiness, in doing it aside from the fact that it is from you. Do you know that you are overdueAs Written:over-due at the three threes? I hope you soon may happen along that-a-way d'ye'know? In case the articleEditorial Note: Ewing had been asked to submit a brief article about Christian Science for The New Standard Encyclopedia, but he wanted to be sure his draft met with Eddy's approval before submitting. does not come back to you at once, you may know it is because of necessary delay, and may also trust me to get it to her attention at the earliest day.
Sincerely your friend,
