Summary
Extending her sympathy at the news that his mother is ill and writing "I think I, more than anyone, can sympathize with you and realize what a blow this must be to you as I went through the same dreadful ordeal with my own mother."; asking him if he has ever studied Christian Science, as "often when doctors despair and have given up hope, it has brought relief", and adding that while she did not have "the understanding and faith ... I have since seen it accomplish seeming miracles."; writing that she appreciated his praise for "The lake" and noting that she will probably continue the broadcasts next fall.
