San Jose, Cal., April 25, 1906.
Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy,
Pleasant View, Concord, N. H.
Dear Mrs. Eddy:—I was instructed by the Board of Directors of First Church of Christ, Scientist, San Jose, Cal., on the evening of the day of the earthquake, after we had held our regular Wednesday evening meeting, to wire you that none of the Scientists in this community had received any bodily injury, and that our new church was practically untouched by the terrible disaster, but it has been impossible to send any satisfactory telegram, hence this letter.
