"We are sending a year's subscription to our periodicals for the Army, in addition to distributing our own in Virginia. Christian Science is growing here in this very conservative old state, which has many excellent virtues and loving and lovable people. Like the dogwood, the redbud, and the tulip trees springing into life here and there in most unexpected places, with the bright promise of spring, and as the arbutus in the woods peeping out from under the thick pile of dead leaves and brush refreshes the landscape, so Christian Science is appearing."

"I must do what I ought to have done long ago—write to you direct to thank you ... most especially for the little vest pocket edition of 'Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures.' This would have reached me, as you intended, at Christmas, but for a series of circumstances much too tedious to relate ... However, I received it at last when I arrived here. It is, as I am sure you quite knew it would be, just the very thing for a man fixed as I am. Every ounce of weight and every cubic inch of space is a consideration. It makes possible what wasn't really possible before. I couldn't carry the larger book actually on me, and so it was rarely there when I had any real chance to read it. Thank you very much indeed for the most valued of my few possessions."

"I am sending my brother's address as directed in the Sentinel; he is interested in Christian Science and would be glad to receive some of the literature. I am also inclosing two dollars for the War Relief fund. I am so grateful for my little understanding of Christian Science and want to help in every way I can that others may be benefited and learn this great truth."
