    Lt 104, 1905

    White, W. C.

    “Elmshaven,” St. Helena, California

    April 4, 1905

    Previously unpublished.

    My Son Willie White,—

    I had a letter to send to you yesterday, but it was overlooked. Mabel was not here for two days [as she was] washing and ironing her clothes, for she received a letter to be ready to come at any time. Mabel wrote that she would come Thursday and if they needed her before she would come any day if they would signify it. Mabel is having her dresses and necessary wardrobe prepared. Lucinda has done the getting of meals with the little help of the girls at times. I have received a letter of a few lines with invitation to come to Los Angeles on our way to Washington and attend the coming meeting. But I shall write him that our preparation of writing will keep us here close by at work until W. C. White shall leave for the conference. I am sure we could not possibly leave here to attend the meeting in the school interest.20LtMs, Lt 104, 1905, par. 1

    I have had some strength given me recently and I am thankful. Had a severe time of it today, with pain about the heart, but it yielded to treatment. I do not think I shall attend conference, but I may if I feel I must. But up to that period when we—or rather you—should start for Washington, I think there will be full work on the books to prepare them. Your wife has just been in. She says she has not heard from you. May and the children are in good health. Grace no longer wears the splints. The children have been playing in our yard today.20LtMs, Lt 104, 1905, par. 2

    I have not received letters of any consequence. I have no inclination to go to the school council meeting in Los Angeles. I hope you will keep well.20LtMs, Lt 104, 1905, par. 3

    Dores, Clarence, Stanley, Maggie Hare, and Sister Graham worked Sunday until half-past twelve o’clock to get off the matter your letter suggested. They came to the breakfast late, but they got the matter off. It is getting dark. Please tell us how you are getting along.20LtMs, Lt 104, 1905, par. 4

    To break up now and go to Mountain View would be a great loss of time to me, and I have not the least disposition to go either to Mountain View or to Los Angeles.20LtMs, Lt 104, 1905, par. 5

    Well, it is getting dark. I shall not have this copied. I thought I might go, and the letter I had written yesterday goes out tonight; but since writing it I have decided it would not be best for me to go to Mountain View.20LtMs, Lt 104, 1905, par. 6

    P.S. I am of good courage, putting my entire trust in the Lord.20LtMs, Lt 104, 1905, par. 7
