Dear Brother Mason:

I am writing to you this morning regarding household matters. You and your wife consented to come into our family at a time when we were in great need of some help. We appreciated greatly your willingness to help us in an emergency, and we are very thankful that you were able to do this. But we have known, all the time, that your wife has not felt really able to carry the household duties, and that she has remained only because she saw our great necessity.22LtMs, Lt 402, 1907, par. 1

I have felt very anxious about Sister Mason, fearing that she might overtax her strength in her desire to please me; so, ever since we left home, I have been looking for some one whom we could get to act as housekeeper, and thus be able to relieve Sister Mason.22LtMs, Lt 402, 1907, par. 2

Since coming to Loma Linda this last time, I have found a woman who desires to connect with me and take up this line of work; therefore I am writing to tell you that I will relieve Sister Mason of carrying the burden any longer. I know that you will feel relieved to have this burden drop from your wife; and so we are very glad that we are able to find help to take her place, and thus enable Sister Mason to place herself in the most favorable circumstances possible for regaining her health.22LtMs, Lt 402, 1907, par. 3

When I return home, which will be in about ten days, I expect to bring this sister with me.22LtMs, Lt 402, 1907, par. 4

In much love.22LtMs, Lt 402, 1907, par. 5
