The Washington News Letter

MARY BAKER EDDY

Dear Editor:— Having received a letter from Captain John F. Linscott, C.S.D., of Washington, D. C., in or about May, 1898—informing me that Colonel Sabin of that city, editor of the Washington News Letter, had become a Christian Scientist, and by reason thereof had lost the principal patronage of his newspaper,—I immediately requested all Christian Scientists to subscribe for said newspaper one year. In a letter Colonel Sabin pleasantly assured me that their generous subscription had resulted in the present prosperity of his paper. I had never heard of Colonel Sabin up to the above-named date, and have never had the pleasure of meeting him.

In answer to the questions from the Field: "Are Christian Scientists under obligations to continue their subscriptions for the Washington News Letter?"—they are under no further obligations to me.
