Your card is at hand, which informs me that mine, containing ten dollars, was not received. I was comparatively at ease concerning its loss; except being decidedly tried with myself, for having risked a ten-dollar bill in a letter.
While writing dear Mrs Eddy, I concluded there and then to contribute my first mite, which I lost, to the Church-building Fund. I herewith enclose draft for $50.00, to aid in securing the. necessary amount to build our Christian Science Church in Boston.
Since coming into Christian Science a son and daughter have depended, and must still depend, for a year to come, largely on me for financial aid in completing their course of study, marked out some years ago. I am glad that my daughter is satisfied with a course at the State Normal School. The son goes to Yale for theology, next fall. An aged aunt is also largely dependent upon me. So, though I am doing a good,. a very good work up here, breaking up the fallow ground, I have to be very prudent in the use of my money.
