Letter to Mrs. Eddy

Chicago, Ill., May 19, 1900.

Rev. Mary Baker G. Eddy, Concord, N. H.

My Dear Mrs. Eddy:—Some years ago four physicians exiled me to Florida to end my days in comparative comfort. Well, I did not follow out their programme. Instead, I hunted, fished, and camped, sleeping on the ground in the woods weeks at a time. I have long since given the lie to the "three-score years and ten." I find Christian Science affects me much as the Bible did when I began to read it sixty years ago, i.e., the more I read it the better I like it. I find in making the change from orthodoxy to Christian Science, one can conserve all that is worth conserving.A correction was  made in the July 19, 1900 Sentinel: "In the letter to Mrs. Eddy on page 721 of the Sentinel for July 5, the sentence 'I find in making the change from orthodoxy, one can answer all that is worth answering," should read, 'one can conserve all that is worth conserving.'"
