CURTIS WRITES OF MRS. EDDY

Concord (N. H.) Daily Patriot

In the Chicago Record-Herald of last Thursday appeared an article on Mrs. Eddy from the pen of William E. Curtis, who in the earlier part of the month spent some days in Concord and in other sections of the State.

The display head under which the communication appeared, made plain the impression left upon this famous newspaper man by the woman whom heirs-at-law and interested lawyers are trying to have it appear is unable to look after her private affairs and incompetent to manage her own estate, and are asking a court to appoint them, or some one or ones of their choosing, to take charge of her money and other property and manage it for her. This is how the headlines read: "Mrs. Eddy, marvel in mental activity"—"Vitality wonderful in woman of eighty-six years, who still seems in perfect health."

We do not intend to publish the Curtis letter in full; but a few extracts from it, coming from a man of broad experience, from a man of keen and discriminating intellect, from one who has spent his life in measuring the mental capabilities of men and women in high and low station, will be interesting reading, and will aid in removing any lingering doubts, if any there be, as to the injustice of this unwarrantable proceeding. Mr. Curtis says:—
