There seems to be a thought with many who write letters of appreciation and gratitude to our Leader, for the benefits derived through her teachings, that their letters may never be seen nor read by her. This is not the case. Our Leader does read such letters as indicate or promote the progress of the Cause, and such only are presented to her.
Mrs. Eddy has given over forty years of constant labor for Christian Science and its promotion; all letters addressed to her, tending thereto, should be properly paged, not lengthy, and written or typewritten legibly. Letters making complaints, requesting loans, autographs, endorsements; or upon the subject of disease, the treatment of disease, or the recommendation of a practitioner, are not presented to Mrs. Eddy.
The General of a great army is not expected to consume his time in directing the course of the individual. Our Leader's higher duties for the promotion of Christian Science occupy all her time, and it is respectfully requested that such letters as are hereby prohibited, be not addressed to her.
