Dear Madam

What will you charge me for a copy of your work “Science & Health”Editorial Note: Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures I am in the bookselling business as you see from my card.

I was cured of a very serious & longstanding attack of indigestion by one of the practitioners of your school here in Chicago, Dr.Editorial Note: Bradford Sherman did not have a medical degree, but in the nineteenth century, persons engaged in various “healing arts” were often called “doctor.” Sherman, though I understand he received his instructions from one of your pupils & not from your College direct.

What are your terms for teaching your method of healingEditorial Note: Christian Science & what are the conditions of mind & body required in your pupils in order to successful practice of the treatment

I feel confident that a person may learn your method of treatment & yet fail to use it successfully himself not because of a defect in the system but by reason of some mental and physical defect in the pupil.

Hoping to hear from you soon I am

Yours Very Respectfully
