From the Papers: Letterpress correspondence

July 15, 2019

Recently we’ve been publishing a lot of letterpress copies of letters written by Mary Baker Eddy. These are letters that her secretary preserved by pressing the ink of the original letter against a moist sheet of special paper. Many times they constitute the only surviving copies. It is interesting to note which letters Eddy wanted to keep copies of—often pointed, instructional, or standing as important historical records.

Read a sampling by clicking on the links below (they will open in new tabs):

  • Mary Baker Eddy to Mattie Williams, 1884
  • Mary Baker Eddy to Clara E. Choate, December 12, 1883
  • Mary Baker Eddy to Roger Sherman, May 5, 1884

You can also read further, by clicking on the link below and then selecting a year under the category “Letterpress Copying Books” to open more letters:
