Dear Willie:

If you can come the coming week, do so. Stay one week. The girls will help you. Write. If you cannot stay one week, stay three days. The cause of God, I believe, demands this. 6LtMs, Lt 102, 1890, par. 1

Why send Underwood to California? He asked me if it was his duty to remain so far away from his family, and they needed him so much. 6LtMs, Lt 102, 1890, par. 2

I told him I thought he would understand his duty better than I could tell him. But if he hangs off, just let him remain east with his family and keep the rebellious element out of California if possible. 6LtMs, Lt 102, 1890, par. 3

Mother.
