    Lt 206, 1897

    Dear Son Willie:

    We are home again, and I am pleased that we came home last night. Brother Starr was kind and attentive, seeing to our baggage until we were safe upon the train leaving Strathfield for Cooranbong. We rested in the cars until we reached Dora Creek. There was Brother James with the surrey, waiting for us. The rain was pouring down. We were glad for the shelter. The wind blew hard. We found all well at home.12LtMs, Lt 206, 1897, par. 1

    We have the American mail. There are some things of special interest; reports from medical missionary workers excellent. The matter of several chapters came from Battle Creek for me to read. Edson writes well. I have an idea not to accept Reaser as my artist. I do not accept his pictures you brought, and I do not and have not felt confidence in his taste. I send these pictures without looking at them, for they are brought to me too late.12LtMs, Lt 206, 1897, par. 2

    I think you should be with me and not spend weeks just now in Melbourne. One thing, the Lord has not appointed you to be an agent in the manufacturing of home health foods. You have other work to do. I seem to be hedged about on every side.12LtMs, Lt 206, 1897, par. 3

    In regard to the manuscript for Life of Christ, it is done, waiting for you to look it over. There are several chapters on temperance waiting for you to look over. The next mail goes one week from next Monday. I have no objection to your staying in Melbourne two months if you know if it is the Lord’s will. But there are matters on this end of the line fully as urgent as the matters on that end of the line. But I have no more to say. You do not intimate when you will be at home. From letters received by Brother Starr and Brother Haskell, you expect to remain in Melbourne three or four weeks.12LtMs, Lt 206, 1897, par. 4

    Our team went to depot for the girls you said were coming, but they were not there.12LtMs, Lt 206, 1897, par. 5

    Your family are quite well.12LtMs, Lt 206, 1897, par. 6

    Mother.
