Dear Madam,

Your astounding letterEditorial Note: See 505.56.019. is before me! Mrs. Miranda Rice became my student in 1872. She was a charity student until 1881. She claimed to be a warm friend of mine. You will find in Science & HealthEditorial Note: Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures Chapter of Physiology the case of her accouchement As Written: accouchment that I attended, and her certificate.Editorial Note: See pages 134 and 135 of Volume 1 of the sixth edition of Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. Also She has made oath before a Justice that contradicts what she is saying and how she would dare to say that when she knows better is astounding, and also, when she has sworn to the contrary and now perjures herself by such an assertion!

It is impossible for me to hurt her in the way she said and I never attempted such a thing. For the last three years it is believed by the true ScientistsEditorial Note: Christian Scientists that she is under the complete control of some Handshift:Calvin A. Fryemental malpractitioners As Written: malpractioners and mesmerists that causes her to behave so unchristianly. And I am convinced that this may be true.

I hope you will learn this great and divine ScienceEditorial Note: Christian Science more thoroughly every day.

She cannot teach it, and I am told that since her departure from truth, she has lost her power to heal. That would inevitably result from such a course.

Yours truly,
M. B. G. Eddy
