Dear Journal:—I enclose a letter written to me from a lady in Auburn, New York, State Prison. She feels that some recognition should be made of the work done there in Christian Science as to her case. It has gratified me very much for I first wrote to her of Christian Science, a stranger to me personally. I saw in the New York Tribune, about three years ago, the notice of her trial; she was a Homœopathic physician in New York City. It was a charge of malpractice. I knew considerable about her from mutual friends in Columbus, Ohio, who esteemed her highly. I felt she needed a friend, so I wrote and sent her tracts, and desired to send her our text book, Science and Health, but have not done so yet. I got it for myself and it is my companion. Mrs. C. adds in another portion of her letter: "I wish I could afford to buy a copy of Science and Health for my own use. One copy is not enough to supply us all. One Bible you know would not be enough for a religiously inclined community and so it is with Science and Health. I have the use of the Christian Science Hymnal and am playing the tunes on the organ, which I enjoy very much."
Auburn, N. Y., Nov. 9, 1896.
