Dear Sir,

Your favorEditorial Note: See 679B.76.045. I have not replied to sooner only for lack of opportunity As Written: oppertunity

In acquiring Metaphysical Science as applied to the treatment of disease, it requires the best of teachers, and a thorough knowledge of it, so that no question in the learner's mind goes unanswered. If you have my work, Science and As Written: And Health, you can see there is very much requisite to be a suitable teacher or healer, and nothing in practice is more pernicious to health and morals than an unqualified teacher or practitioner As Written: practioner of Metaphysics. In that case they can only teach and practice As Written: practise mesmerism, and have no ability in Christian science As Written: Science to work out the grand results of its grander Principle

The time I require for recitations is three weeks which includes twelve lessons. My tuition is $300Editorial Note: $300.00 in 1883 is the equivalent of $7,835.27 in 2016. per pupil. To the poor I discount. Hoping to hear from you sooner than you have from me

I subscribe myself

Very Respectfully
Mary B G Eddy

I have no students in Chicago to my knowledge Mr. Sherman and Mrs. Noyes studied with Osgood
