⇉ Handshift:typewrittenOne of the reasons why your "next friends" claim that your funds have been diverted from you is that oin 1893 you had you bonds brought from BostonEditorial Note: Boston, Massachusetts to ConcordEditorial Note: Concord, New Hampshire and at that time you had only about $100,000.00Editorial Note: 100000.00 in bonds.

As yYou have said somewhere in your writings that you have taught about four thousand studentsMary Baker Eddy, Science and Health with Key to the Scripturesxii:6During seven years over four thousand studentsdents, they that at $300.00Editorial Note: 300.00 apiece that would have amounted to one million two hundred thousand dollarsEditorial Note: 1200000.00, or if a reduction of one half were allowed on their tuitions it would have yielded you six hundred thousand dollarsEditorial Note: 600000.00. And inasmuch as at the abve Corrected: above date there was only $100,000.00 in bonds, they claim is something wrong somewhere; and they believe that someone has taken this sum away from you. I am at a loss to understand about your having taught so many students; for I have no record of more than a thousand and I hardly think there is even so many that were taught by you since I have been in your employ.

I call your attention to this matter so that if you were questioned about this matter you would be better prepared to give an answer as to where your money had gone to.? But understand me, there may never be anything brogsh brought up on this subject; you see however if there should be it would make it awkward for me to have to say you had not taught so many students as you say, i.e. four thousand.
