March 1, 1909 Monday

March 1 Monday — On or about this day Jean Clemens moved from Babylon, Long Island (she hated it) to a cottage named “Wahnfried,” in Montclair, N.J., supervised by Miss Edith Clapp, a nurse. Jean had still not seen Stormfield [Hill 225]. Note: on Mar. 3 Sam replied to a non-extant letter from Jean; allowing a day each way would put Jean’s letter and probably her arrival in Montclair, to this day.

Walter S. Ottinger, a deacon in a Congregational Church which had lost members to Christian Science, wrote from Phila. to ask Sam his views on Mary Baker Eddy, if not published elsewhere [MTP].
