    Lt 288, 1903

    White, W. C.

    “Elmshaven,” St. Helena, California

    January 23, 1903

    Previously unpublished.

    Dear Son Willie,—

    I do not expect to get this copied but will write a few lines. We shall be glad to see you back again. I wish this communication sent in behalf of England will be considered as facts concerning the providence of God in placing property within your reach at Los Angeles and San Diego, but I have said my say respecting those places. You must do as in your judgment you shall deem best. Why I write is this: the creating of funds to purchase in England need not close the door to creating funds for the Southern California field. I can write but little but will just put a few words in the mail today.18LtMs, Lt 288, 1903, par. 1

    Elder Daniells has written for me to write something like an appeal for the sanitarium in England. I said, I will take no responsibilities to call for funds for England when the distressed condition of the work in America, that should have earnest work done just as verily as in any foreign field, [is before me]. God is displeased that this state of things continues with our people who know the truth, slumbering and sleeping like the foolish virgins, while souls are going to ruin. And if any attempt to do anything in the Southern field, hands are spread out to grasp it for the foreign fields. Souls that have been left without care in America are just as much to be cared for as those in other countries. I have sent a letter to Elder Daniells. I wish you to see it.18LtMs, Lt 288, 1903, par. 2

    I meant to have written more but I have not time. I am writing some things when I can. May the Lord help me, for I have but little courage now as to the proper state of things’ being established when the leading men are blind as to the moves they make. I fear greatly for the sheep of the Lord’s pasture. I never, never remember of having such a hopeless presentation in regard to the future. My soul is sad and sick; but I will stop this kind of pen talk.18LtMs, Lt 288, 1903, par. 3

    I must close my letter.18LtMs, Lt 288, 1903, par. 4
