My dear Mrs. Eddy: I wish to show you my gratitude and love, and my loyalty to the one cause which you have so nobly brought forward to its present stage of growth. After three years of work and demonstration, I am able to realize all you have had to withstand and battle against in the personalities of students, who, though struggling through the mists, have blinded themselves, and have reflected that personality upon you, unconscious of what they were doing. Your perception of the Infinite has sustained you through it all. Let me add my small portion of true love to swell the general wave, that the onward march may be less irksome.
I have longed to see you and sit under your instructions; but it has not been possible for me as yet to go. I am working in South Bend, Indiana, and have to contend with general error, ignorance, poor teaching, and mixed literature. From my own work I know how it must be with you. I can not forbear sending my tribute of love to one who has been the means of leading me into the light. I have but one desire,—to do the work, to stand by the Science (as given in your book and the Bible) in its purity. Daily my thought goes to you, as I read, study, and demonstrate the Truth; and with each advancing perception I rejoice in your existence in this age of the dream. I am one with you now and always, in Truth. Is there any prospect of a Primary Class before fall? Miss Wilsie tells me the Normal Class has been deferred till that time. I sent you my photograph with a letter in the winter, but neglected to write my name on the picture. You will recognize it by the label La Porte, this being the place where it was taken.
May peace and love without alloy sustain you.
Your loyal disciple,
