My dear Sir,

Your last two lettersEditorial Note: See 321.44.004 and 321.44.005. duly rec'd. In reply will say, I did not make myself understood on the question of selling Science and Health

The work complete in 2 Vols. Has always sold for $3.00Editorial Note: $3.00 in 1883 is the equivalent of $78.35 in 2016. I will sell it to you at 1/3 off or 2.00Editorial Note: $2.00 in 1883 is the equivalent of $52.24 in 2016. net, providing you hold the retail price at $3.00Editorial Note: $3.00 in 1883 is the equivalent of $78.35 in 2016. in all cases except when one doz. sets or upwards are purchased at once

This has been my wholesale rates with Lockwood Brooks & Co Boston for many years.

I am not disposed to secure to an individual who is not a travelling agent, giving all his time to this business, the exclusive agency to sell my works. But shall be pleased to fill your orders on the above terms for a time as it may suit both parties. Will send in the mail that takes this letter twelve copies or sets of my new editionEditorial Note: sixth edition of Science and Health. Have rec'd from you twenty four dollarsEditorial Note: $24.00 in 1883 is the equivalent of $626.82 in 2016. for the same.

Glad to hear you are prospering, and hope Mrs. Noyes and Miss Brown, will do well. There is a great demand for the right practice of mental healing. I would like to have you join my next class and I would take you leagues in advance of where you now are, even, such fitness as yours is a rich promise.

Very truly
Mary B G Eddy
