One of the burdens imposed upon Pleasant View is that of lengthy epistles, sent to our dear Leader, often upon trivial and inconsequential subjects. It is right to say, however, that these letters very seldom come from students, from church officers, or from committees on publication.
Mrs. Eddy is always glad, let it be remembered, to receive letters of loving appreciation, and to hear of the spiritual growth of the individual and of the Cause, but these letters should always be clear and concise. Thus her correspondents will not interfere with her labors for the Cause.
This standing notice at the head of the editorial pages of the Christian Science Sentinel should be remembered: "The author of the Christian Science text-book does not consult nor read letters on disease."
Communications to Mrs. Eddy should be upon vital subjects, and thoughtfully considered; they should be carefully paged, written or typewritten upon one side of the paper,— always remembering the necessity for brevity.
Because of her manifold labors our beloved Leader requests that those who write her heed the above loving suggestions.
Pleasant View, Concord, N. H.
Nov. 19, 1907.
