Maude Smith's Correspondence with The Mother

19 January 1970

Mother,

For some weeks I have been having digestive trouble, with occasional headache and giddiness. Dr. S thinks there are two causes: anaemia and a chronic type of colitis. For the anaemia he recommends iron, and for the colitis he proposes to give me a medicine.

Up to now, everything that has ailed the body has always, eventually, become all right by your Grace. So perhaps I can trust that this will also become all right, and need not take the medicine, only the iron?

Keep your faith and take the iron.

With love and blessings
