Camberley, England, March 29, 1910. Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy, Boston, Mass., U. S. A.

Beloved Leader:—I used to wonder why you permitted the publication of some of the many letters sent you by earnest followers. They seemed to me, then, too sacred for the casual reader to see. Since that time, however, I have been so often helped by reading these evidences of love and loyalty, that I am now impelled to thank you very heartily for allowing them to appear in our Sentinel. These letters have shown me how other students, beset with the same difficulties which seem to bind me down at times, have risen above the cloud, and their expressions to you have sometimes brought the light to me, just in the way it was most needed. Human struggles are much alike, whatever part of the world we dwell in, and our progress from sense to Soul seems attended by the same apparent obstacles, whatever position in life we occupy.

To note the progress and loyalty of other students often encourages and helps us on our way; but above all, your noble example, dear Leader, is ever an inspiration to continue firm in our fight against error. Miss Wilbur's book has shown us something of what you have had to endure in the past, and it proved to me very clearly that the one thing we all have to guard against is any adulteration of the absolute teaching of Christian Science as set forth in our text-book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures."
