    Lt 9, 1882

    White, W. C.

    Healdsburg, California

    April 16, 1882

    Portions of this letter are published in 3Bio 195.

    Dear son Willie:

    I received the draft. I will do as you say—return it to you. I was not made sick by being out in the storm that day. Bro. Ballou, I think, was threatened with chills but is better now.3LtMs, Lt 9, 1882, par. 1

    I find, after all, your mother can endure about as much as the younger people.3LtMs, Lt 9, 1882, par. 2

    What do you wish I should do about the horse? Shall I bring down Dolly and take the other? What do you advise? I thought Brother Ballou and I would ride down to Brother Chapman’s and save [the] expense of traveling and horse-keeping which is quite an item. I would like to have my team in Oakland, but it costs too much to cross the Bay, to think of it. I paid seven-and-[a]-half-dollars for half-a-ton of hay.3LtMs, Lt 9, 1882, par. 3

    Had Brother Ballou better bring his wife to Oakland with him? I think he had better go up in the country where his uncle lives and take a tent with him and commence meetings. He will be at less expense there than in a new place where he has no friends. Will you please let me know about this matter? I think they both had better go to Oakland.3LtMs, Lt 9, 1882, par. 4

    Speak to Brother Fay about their having a home with them during the meeting. Brother Ballou is getting confirmed in health and wants to go to work. He spoke yesterday and last night and speaks tonight. I remained at home yesterday and wrote an article for [the] paper.3LtMs, Lt 9, 1882, par. 5

    I shall save myself wherever and whenever I can. Brother Ballou put the bottom in my mountain wagon. It was thoroughly done so that it will stand as long as the wagon lasts.3LtMs, Lt 9, 1882, par. 6

    I do not know how long I shall feel like having Brother Roberts with me. He can not set himself to work. When I leave, he will, be an unprofitable hand. Well, we will see about the matter.3LtMs, Lt 9, 1882, par. 7

    I am doing well. Mary Chinnock is well. The matter in regard to Southern camp meeting will be considered at our April meeting. But I have no mind to go to the meeting.3LtMs, Lt 9, 1882, par. 8

    Brother Harmon’s horses are sick. Brother Mills is in danger of losing his with some distemper.3LtMs, Lt 9, 1882, par. 9

    School opens with 26 scholars. All [is] going well, I think. Professor says seven more are coming this week. When I get anything more definite, will write you. I have not seen Prof. B. since you left.3LtMs, Lt 9, 1882, par. 10

    What do you think of Allen as a fit man for Battle Creek?3LtMs, Lt 9, 1882, par. 11

    I have a chance to send this now.3LtMs, Lt 9, 1882, par. 12

    Mother.
