Exhibit 21—Thursday, April 27, 1876, Oakland, California, Ellen White to James White

Dear Husband: ... We have just completed twenty pages on the parable of the Sower. This was rather a trying subject to write upon, but Mary and I have read it over this afternoon, and we pronounce it excellent, excellent. She says the subjects grow better and better, every one. She is just happy over this work. ERWDA 16.2
