    Lt 50, 1876

    White, J. S.

    Oakland, California

    Spring 1876

    Previously unpublished.

    [James White: (?)]

    Last night I awoke troubled and burdened to know what my duty was. I prayed most earnestly to God for two hours. I prayed for the restoration of my failing sight, also that my head might be relieved from congestion and that I might be generally renovated and renewed. I came to the Great Healer and pressed my case to His consideration. I believe I shall receive the things I ask of Him. I look to the Source of health and power to be refitted, cleansed, sanctified, to do His will. I feel great peace and assurance. Light and hope cheer me. I shall know my duty. God will teach me. I am perfectly willing to go East or remain here and write, as the Spirit of God shall direct. I shall still pray earnestly to know the will of God that I may perform it.3LtMs, Lt 50, 1876, par. 1

    I hope you may continue to feel free and happy and cheerful and of the very best courage. God will help you and me if we cast all our care upon Him.3LtMs, Lt 50, 1876, par. 2

    You speak of writing to Emma in regard to the children. Emma works in the office with Edson every day, setting music. She is doing well and works with interest. This will help her and help Edson. So you see she could not have care of the children. She is doing that which will be better for her than to remain in her own house. She is called out from home and is employed. She is trying, with Edson, to be of use. May God bless these children. I believe He will. This must go now. God be with you and bless you.3LtMs, Lt 50, 1876, par. 3
