Dr. E. J. Foster6 told me that he had placed in
your hands a diary which he kept at Mrs.
Eddy7's suggestion and which contained many of her utterances. This diary
he is willing that I should quote from8 if you have no
objection. I shall return to Boston9 in
about a week and I write to ask you whether you could then let me have access to
this book? I would use from it only such extracts as you consented to my using copying. If you could permit me to make
extracts from the diary, or even to read it, you would be rendering me very great
assistance, and I hope you may see your way to help me. If you could send the book
to Mr. Peabody10, I could examine it in his
office.
