Here we get a glimpse of Margaret, Will's first wife, nearly three years before the two of them met. In her letters, Margaret always comes across as wonderfully spontaneous, but this shows the thought beneath the spontaneity. And she kept this list! Imagine Will packing it away with the rest of her things after she died so suddenly.

Mrs. Eddy was Mary Baker Eddy, the founder of Christian Science, still alive when Margaret wrote this. I think this quote is quoted often among Christian Scientists. It was used in a letter by Jessie Morrison, the Christian practitioner wife (fiancée at the time of the letter) of Cecil Farmer, the brother of Will's second wife Kathleen. (Golly, this gets convoluted.)
