Resolved, That we very much regret that the ill health of Sister Sisley, who came to give instruction in missionary work, would not suffer her to ... that we renew our request to the General Conference to send us a missionary teacher for our school next winter. SITI May 5, 1887, page 266.9
The resolutions were all quite fully discussed. It was remarked by the librarian of the Healdsburg Tract and Missionary Society that the good of the instruction that Sister Sisley was able to give what little time she was at the school, was plainly apparent in the work of the society, and that the loss that the cause on this coast has sustained by her sickness could not be overestimated.

The resolutions were unanimously adopted. After their adoption, a motion was made that the second resolution be submitted to the congregation. The motion was carried, and the resolution was adopted by a rising vote of the whole house. SITI May 5, 1887, page 266.11
