bed they wanted to know if Mrs Eddie did'nt live with my mother & she said she was her second student. Mr Bradney had read that book that used to be in the library but is now taken out (a true history of Mrs Eddy.) so of course people never want to hear the truth in these days. Well the bundle you had sent from the store arrived yesterday morning. I haven't opened it yet as I am working on the dress now over the holidays I haven't felt much like sewing but have got the dress pretty much under way. hope to finish it this week. I shall be glad to have those tickets for the play sold. she calls up the people on the telephone & sells them and its all I hear day times. she is good one to sell them for theres a nack and every one she sells to she makes them laugh, even the Irish all buy of her. Addie is even interested & is buying. they sent me over a big piece of their mothers birthday cake. they were very good to us. their brother came to it, he saw Mrs Barry home & paid a lot of attention to her. she told him what no one else knew ("sytic") it astonished him. she dont intend to do such things. but can. well these things come to her but she dont like to do them. use the power she has. they come to her straight. & Irish are more Ma interested than any class of people. you remember Maggie.
Transcription Notes:
They are discussing the Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy, who lived for a while in Ma's childhood home when Ma was younger. Mrs. Eddy is the founder of Christian Science.
You are to use "&" not change it to "and".
-We don't have to correct spelling of all the misspelled words. Just do it for words that you see are difficult to figure out. If you have been reading "Ma's" letters, you know she doesn't use capitals much, and contractions are wrong, but we can still read it.
- sytic -phychic - can see things of the future
- cannot tell much of a different between periods and commas, but should be decent.
