Dictated.

You have committed a flagrant moral offence, and I have aught against you, as a member of our Church and Association.

You know that I have before forbidden your reporting my sermons or lectures, without my examination of your copy before going to press; and now you have presumed to steal my sacred charge to the new members of my Church and have it published as your own: also you have plagiarized my lecture before the Association, and the law would sustain me in a legal action against you.

Now I have talked to you on this subject before, and have told you your faults more than once; therefore I refuse to see you, until you publish in the “Christian Science Journal”, a confession of what you have done.

As ever
Your Pastor
M. B. G. Eddy.
