South Kensington, London, England,
Sept. 22, 1906.

Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy.

Beloved Leader and Teacher:—Just the other day there was brought to light what I know must prove of great interest to you. It is a letter of Thomas Carlyle, dated as far back as Feb. 25, 1859, in which he strongly upholds the necessity for uniting in the same individual the offices of priest and physician. He wrote this letter to a firm of publishers in Edinburgh, acknowledging the receipt of a book entitled "The Healing Art the Right Hand of the Church." What Carlyle longed for but thought almost impossible, you have accomplished. His desire was prophecy, yours is fulfilment. Through you Principle is unveiled. "Its only priest is the spiritualized man" (Science and Health, p. 141), and that man the only physician. A multitude of grateful hearts joyfully acknowledge this unity, and bless and praise God for her through whom it has been comprehended.
