Frye is the most disagreeable man that can be found, but
this he is, namely, (if there is one on earth) an honest
man, as all will tell you who deal with him. At first
mesmerism swayed him, but he learned through my forbearance
to govern himself. He is a man that would not steal, commit

what I have touched upon.

One thing is the severest wound of all, namely, the want of

to read them.

You pronounce your words so wrongly and then she spells them
accordingly. I am even yet too proud to have you come among
my society and alas! mispronounce your words as you do; but
for this thing I should be honored by your good manners and
I love you. With love to all

MARY BAKER EDDY.
