    Dear Brother:

    I have a deep interest in the work now going forward in Oakland. I rejoice in every move which will strengthen the work in Oakland and Berkeley. I have thought some of coming to Oakland next Sabbath; but the weather is unfavorable, and I have been overtaxed, and I do not think it would be wisdom for me to come down, though I would like to meet you again before you go South.22LtMs, Lt 96, 1907, par. 1

    Regarding the selection of officers for the Berkeley church. There is need of a decided change and that a different element be brought in to take the leadership of that important church.22LtMs, Lt 96, 1907, par. 2

    You ought not to leave Oakland until the Berkeley church has chosen its officers. I am satisfied that the time has now come for the church to take action in this matter. I feel confident that the Lord will guide you in giving wise counsel to this church; and I pray that He will give wisdom to the church in the selection of elders and deacons for the coming year, and in the choice of competent persons to fill all the positions of responsibility.22LtMs, Lt 96, 1907, par. 3

    Considering the importance of the work in Berkeley, and the experience which the church has passed through, I suggest to you and through you to the church that they choose some man of experience in the work to be associated with the best man of their own number, to act as elders together. If some person in the conference employ, a man of sound judgment, like Elder Brorsen, could be secured to act as one of the elders, I think it would be well.22LtMs, Lt 96, 1907, par. 4

    Please talk this matter over with the leading members of the Berkeley church, and with Elder Brorsen, and make some such arrangement as this if possible.22LtMs, Lt 96, 1907, par. 5
