Dear Son Willie:

There seems to be quite an outside interest here and it is thought advisable for me to remain here over another Sabbath, notwithstanding I feel anxious to get to Petoskey and get to my writing. Yet, I would not rush away if I can do any good to help any souls to see the truth. 7LtMs, Lt 62, 1891, par. 1

There is a place, Muskegon, that someone should go. Brother Edgar has just returned from attending a funeral of one of the sisters who died there, and he says that there are a few keeping the Sabbath there, and there are outsiders who are favorable to the truth. One very wealthy man, Elder Corliss tells me, is interested. He is worth a large amount of money, large interest money, that he is giving to churches now. If something could be done, just now, in Muskegon, it would, if sanctioned of the Lord, bring into the cause of God quite a revenue at this time when means are needed so much. 7LtMs, Lt 62, 1891, par. 2

I also learn that there is one and another who are becoming old and they have considerable property but have as yet made no arrangement to secure the same to the cause of God. 7LtMs, Lt 62, 1891, par. 3

I learn Brother Maynard has fallen heir, I understand, to eleven thousand dollars. Now someone who is just the right one should approach him and seek to obtain something for the cause of God. I shall visit Brother Maynard and shall present several things before him. 7LtMs, Lt 62, 1891, par. 4

This is an important time here and there will be important results from this meeting. 7LtMs, Lt 62, 1891, par. 5

I shall remain here until next Wednesday or Thursday, then Brother and Sister Starr will go with me to Grand Rapids. 7LtMs, Lt 62, 1891, par. 6

Now, whenever it is thought best to go to Petoskey, go along if I do not come at once. 7LtMs, Lt 62, 1891, par. 7

Sara, send at once my wrapper pattern and sacque pattern. 7LtMs, Lt 62, 1891, par. 8

Mother.
