Dear Sirs:

I am so sorry to be so late in answering
your letter of April 6, but I have been out of
town.

The life of Mrs. Eddy, which was publish-
ed serially in McClures, was not the work of any
one or two persons. It was compiled by four or
five members of the staff. I was then managing
editor of the magazine and tried to bring the
various chapters, written by different people, into
more or less harmonious form. I worked on the
series only as an editor, not as a writer, and of
course disclaim the authorship of the series. To
sell a copy of Miss Milmine's book as my work would
be a false representation.
